The Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) and the Department of
Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, join hands to host an international
symposium at the BRIC-National Institute of Immunology. This symposium will
delve into the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in advancing
innovations within the life sciences.



Join us as distinguished researchers from around the globe share their insights
on the latest advancements in AI and its impact on life sciences. The talks will
explore strategies to push the boundaries of future research and foster
collaboration in this dynamic field.
