I think one of the easiest ways to get into it is by knowing how to use a software called MaxQuant Perseus (https://maxquant.net/perseus/). It's like advanced Excel that was designed so scientists don't have to learn R but still get the job done. Good luck with your journey!

You probably won’t go far by just looking at MaxQuant. But here’s a good introduction to proteomics https://statomics.github.io/pda/pages/techVideos

A biomedical scientist probably has a good base in proteomics already, learning the ins and outs of the tools used for research would be the best option for a bio scientist wanting to get into the computational side of things.
