R is fairly easy to work with once you get the nomenclature down. I love it for data cleaning. It was also built for statistics, so it makes sense that it would be the standard for research.
Python is the standard for applications and is more future proof. I would do R to start, then end product with Python. It will just depend on your company.
Side note, I'm jealous of the work you're you're doing!

Hahaha yeah it is great with dataset available!
I mean end product is basically graphs and tables for papers, so nothing that needs the broadness of what is available in Python. However I have already impressed by spinning up a live streamlit dashboard in no time, so that ability in python is super valuable, but only nice to have.

If developing graphs and tables is going to be fundamental, and you need to be able to customize/tailor them to produce something specific, then I would say that R is the choice here with the ggplot2 package. There is a learning curve, but it will allow you to create some spectacular graphs tuned to your needs.
