Genome bioinformatics: can you build expertise from scratch? | Lilit Nersisyan | TEDxYerevan
Have you ever wondered about the best way to build expertise from scratch? During the last years, Lilit and her colleagues have been pondering over this question. The pieces of the puzzle have come together, and now being one of the founders of the Armenian Bioinformatics Institute, Lilit and the team seem to have developed just the right model. Lilit has more than 10 years of experience in the field of bioinformatics and genomics. She holds an MS degree in biotechnology and MS in Computer Science. She was the first one in Armenia awarded with a PhD in computational biology and genomics from the Institute of Molecular Biology NAS Armenia and Leipzig University Germany. Afterwards, Lilit has conducted postdoctoral studies in computational biology at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. In 2021 she became the founding director of the Armenian Bioinformatics Institute. Lilit has been the principal investigator of 3 research grants, an author of 20 peer-reviewed publications, and has won several fellowships in life sciences, including the Marie-Curie Individual Fellowship, the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), the DAAD German Academic Research Service; has twice been nominated among “the most productive scientists of the year” by the Science Committee of Armenia. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Excellent! Great initiative to develop the bioinformatics sector!
This is exactly what I want to do. I am inspired.
So inspiring!
This was Impressive and enjoyable !
INVITAE is my absolute favourite genomic company ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's such a great speech, and inspiring. I am also switched my Carrier in MS in Bioinformatics..

Hey, how's your experience so far? I'm also thinking of switching to Bioinformatics. I just completed my masters in biotechnology and I have no idea where to start.

Great and inspiring talk! 👏
very intersting topic , hope to see more opportunities open in this feild .
That was so interesting and inspiring!!
All the best!!
the needed democratization and propagation of the field
Great ! How can I connect with you in order to help researching from Argentina ?
Great speech. Is there a way to connect you? Sincerely from Turkey.
How can i contact with you?!
Se não me engano, você falou, oferecer educação científica para muitas pessoas, sem fins lucrativos; se sim? parabéns para você, eu acredito que você está ajudando muitas pessoas; e também está contribuindo para o avanço da ciência no mundo, e também está ajudando a simplificar o entendimento da ciência.
maybe we can have a group for ideas; such like
I am a biochem major in usa with a compsci minor and a very strong multi year background in computer science. Id love to go into bioinformatics, but i cant get a job in the field. Very depressing.

@mustafaiwritesofficial3489 Well, nothing lasts forever. A degree is only as good as the need or demand for the goods or services they help produce. Technology and people change. Degrees lose their value. Along time ago college was only for layers and doctors.

@@youknowkbbaby well the nice thing about bioinformatics is its so computer heavy that i could easily get a job in another industry that needs software or hardware techs. So im not too worried myself, it just kind of sucks that BIO-informatics is hard to find jobs in i guess.
Develop Armenia now! 🇦🇲❤️
