Which Programming Languages Should You Learn for a Career in Biotechnology?

From genome sequencing and drug discovery to cellular engineering and clinical diagnostics, biotechnology is revolutionising how we understand and harness living systems for medicine, agriculture, and beyond. As biotech labs generate massive datasets—think omics (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics), high-throughput screening, and clinical trials—the demand for skilled programmers and data scientists continues to grow. If you’re exploring roles on www.biotechnologyjobs.co.uk, you may be asking: Which programming languages are most valuable for a biotech career? The answer depends on the subfield of biotech you plan to focus on: bioinformatics, computational biology, lab automation, or data engineering. Each area has its go-to languages—for instance, Python or R for data analysis and machine learning, C++ for HPC and algorithmic tool development, or MATLAB for signal processing and advanced modelling. This guide dives into: Key programming languages central to biotechnology roles. Pros, cons, and typical use cases of each. A hands-on project idea to get you started in bioinformatics.
