Any insight for someone that already works as a bioinformatics scientist that wants to move into deep learning?

I've got the programming, math, some stats, and am currently involved in research, but I only know a little about deep learning. I'm currently working my way through the course.fast.ai deep learning courses and am going to do Part 2 when it is released.

Any other resources that would be useful for getting a job in this area? Best to just work on my own projects?

I would say to you to go to kaggle and get your hands dirty in any competition related with bioinformatics. As you already know the domain better than other people in there you can focus on learning deep learning.

And for the job I don't know. You can post your CV here in the monthly thread for jobs, also take a look to the companies searching for people with experience in bioinformatics that wants to apply deep learning. I think a startup it is a good place to find a job and improve your deep learning skills.
