IMHO, most fields in biology lack good on ramps when compared to CS. I think part of the reason is that it's way easier to get someone to install Python than to get access to a mass spectrometer. A big factor in me studying Biochemistry in undergrad was that it was way easier to self-teach myself the parts of CS that interested me than it was for Biochemistry, in my estimation.

I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you, I hope someone else here does!
