Biotechnology is packed with data. Whether you are applying for roles in drug discovery, clinical research, bioprocessing, diagnostics, genomics or regulated manufacturing, you will meet numbers every day: assay readouts, QC trends, dose response curves, sequencing counts, clinical endpoints, stability profiles, validation reports & risk assessments.
If you are a UK job seeker moving into biotech from another sector or you are a student in biology, biochemistry, biomedical science, pharmacy, chemistry, engineering or computer science, it is normal to worry you “do not have the maths”. What biotech roles do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up again & again.
This guide focuses on the only maths most biotech job adverts quietly assume:
• Biostatistics basics for experiments, evidence & decision making
• Probability for variability, uncertainty & risk
• Linear algebra essentials for omics, PCA & modelling workflows
• Calculus basics for kinetics, rates & dose response intuition
• Simple optimisation for curve fitting, process set points & model tuning
Biotechnology is all about solving complex problems that affect real lives – from new medicines & vaccines to sustainable materials, diagnostics & gene therapies. To tackle those challenges, the sector needs people who think differently.
That is exactly where neurodivergent talent comes in.
If you have ADHD, autism, dyslexia or another form of neurodivergence, you might have been told that your brain is “too much”, “too distracted” or “too literal” for a lab or scientific career. In reality, many of the traits that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia are perfectly suited to biotech work – from spotting subtle patterns in experimental data to creative thinking around new solutions.
This guide is written for biotechnology job seekers in the UK. We will explore:
What neurodiversity means in a biotech context
How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map onto specific biotech roles
Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law
How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews
By the end, you will have a clearer idea of where you might thrive in biotech – & how to set up your working environment so your differences become genuine superpowers.
As we move into 2026, the biotechnology jobs market in the UK is going through rapid change. Funding cycles are tighter, some organisations are restructuring or consolidating, & yet demand for specialist biotech skills remains strong – particularly in areas like cell & gene therapy, bioprocessing, mRNA platforms, bioinformatics & regulatory affairs.
New therapies are coming through the pipeline, advanced manufacturing facilities are scaling up, & digital tools are transforming lab & clinical workflows. At the same time, some roles are being automated, outsourcing patterns are shifting, & hiring standards are rising.
Whether you are a biotech job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build teams in a complex market, understanding the key biotechnology hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.
