Envisioning the Future of Life Sciences through Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics and Digital Innovation
A two-day scientific conclave connecting frontier research, digital infrastructure, talent development, entrepreneurship, industry adoption and the Bio-AI roadmap for India.
Frontier science meets digital innovation
NIELIT Bio-AI-2026 is proposed as a high-level two-day scientific conclave bringing together academia, research institutions, government, industry, healthcare, startups and students to examine how Artificial Intelligence, bioinformatics, computational biology and digital research infrastructure are transforming the life sciences.
The programme is deliberately structured around keynote lectures, expert panels, industry interaction, poster research, innovation and an India-focused Bio-AI roadmap rather than conventional oral-paper sessions.
