Computational Biologists for the National Microbiology Laboratory can undertake and lead scientific innovation, diagnostic development, methods in support of outbreak detection and management, development of novel bioinformatics methods and applications, as part of their core mandate. Focusing on various health fields, including bacterial pathogens, enteric and viral diseases, zoonotic diseases and special pathogens and public health risks, biologists work both in office or remotely and in laboratory settings.

After doing his bachelor’s in science, majoring in Computer Science and minor in Biology, [https://profils-profiles.science.gc.ca/en/profile/dr-kyrylo-bessonov Dr. Kyrylo Bessenov] achieved his PhD in Biocomputation where he focused on R and Python modeling tools and now works with the Public Health Agency of Canada, having published many important scientific contributions. For those interested in entering the growing field of Computational Biology, Dr. Bessenov suggests a bachelor’s in biology and master’s in bioinformatics as possible pathway to take, although, many of his colleagues are self-taught coders. As a Computational Biologist in PHAC, Dr. Bessenov can perform the majority of his work from home.
