At the core of our ethos is supporting training and educational programmes that promote better integration of AI and biology.

• Chair Professorship: To attract and support eminent researchers undertaking transformative work at the interface of AI and biological sciences.
• Professors of Practice (PoP): To engage experienced professionals and experts from industry and bring applied perspectives and strengthen research–practice linkages in AI and biology.
• AI in Biology Postdoctoral Fellowship Program: To train and support early-career researchers pursuing innovative projects integrating AI approaches with biological research.
• HS Gupta and Asha Gupta Research Travel Fellowships: To support NCBS faculty, students and early career researchers to travel to international conferences/workshops and to support short visits to pioneering labs for training in AI in Biology.
