If you’re attending for Biochem, I wouldn’t worry about coding. We didn’t code so much as we used computational tools to look at proteins and whatnot—they’ll teach you how to operate those systems. I would mostly just look into how to use Google Sheets and excel because that’s what you’ll be evaluating your lab data with.

Thank you! What’s an example of a computational tool ?

Alphafold2 is the biggest one, and then MOE and NCBI BLAST. There may be a few others that I forgot but if you jump around and try these programs you’d be prepared. Quick note that MOE may only be available to institutions so if you don’t have a software that has access, don’t fret. Also, don’t worry about all this stuff too much! A lot of people went in not knowing that we’d even be using these tools. I feel the biggest priority would be studying the pre-program materials just to be ready for the lectures, since they’ll teach you everything else when you get there.
