Scope of Bioinformatics in Pakistan

In modern counties of the world there is large need of bioinformaticians to develop tools and solve problems related to biological data.I mostly wonder and ask many times that what will be my future in-terms of career being bioinformatician. In Pakistan  it is an average field not much popular. It is hard to find jobs after completing your degree but internationally it is very demanded field.
Many pharmaceutical countries abroad are investing millions of Dollars to do research in the field of bioinformatics and recruiting thousands of bioinformaticians on daily basis. In Pakistan no such initiative is taken so far by Pakistani  industries, they are investing less in the field of bioinformatics.There are few or i must say very rare jobs in Pakistan and are limited to only teaching in different institutes. No proper organizations and industries are working on international level. According to my point of view still 5-6  Years of struggle are still required to develop a well developed industry.
Despite of having limited resources Pakistani bioinformaticians are doing research in this field and publishing their publications. For further studies Pakistani government is also offering scholarships to perceive higher education from universities abroad, which is a good initiative. I see a bright future of Bioinformatics in Pakistan as our researchers doing work in this field and many students are perceiving degree in this field.
Hope for the best....
