BlackInCompBio | Which Skills Do Bioinformaticians Need to Transition Into Data Science? feat. Aneesa Valentine, MS

Season 4 · Episode 4

Wednesday, February 28, 2024 • Duration 45:28

We talk to Aneesa Valentine, MS, about everything from bioinformatics to data science and AI. After leaving her PhD program, she embarked on a journey in data science. We explore her experience outside of academia and into the world of data science and AI.

About Aneesa

Aneesa is a Data Scientist and Researcher at heart.

She earnestly began Biosciences Research during undergrad, where she participated in several

Research Honors programs (MARC, C-STEP etc.). Throughout her undergraduate tenure, in

addition to conducting research at her alma mater Brooklyn College, she interned at several R1

institutions allowing her to contribute to research projects spanning Biophysics, Microbiology &

and Genetics.

Post undergrad, she completed a Post Baccalaureate Research Program (PREP) at Tufts

University, pushing the boundaries of Infectious Diseases research using humanoid models of

gastrointestinal fungal infection.

On par with her academic career pursuits, she began her PhD in Bioinformatics at the Albert

Einstein College of Medicine where she became enamored with Computational methods,

specifically supporting Genomics Research. Though the data she generated contributed to a

research publication during her brief graduate tenure, her love for algorithms prematurely drew

her to an industry career in Data Science & AI.
