The Bio-AI Hubs will focus on interdisciplinary and interinstitutional collaborations. These Hubs will be anchored by organisations (academia/industry) with established expertise in AI/ML, supported by robust infrastructure and advanced computational methodologies.
Startup/SMEs and other academic institutions can participate as spokes, contributing to the hub's research and innovation ecosystem. Bio-AI Hubs are expected to develop AI-guided closed loop platforms, in which predictions, experiments and analyses are integrated into the system to improve performance.
All of these would be connected in a positive feedback loop leading to accelerate scientific discoveries, optimise processes and decision-making. Bio-AI hubs with state-of-art facilities in PPP mode will be established as a shared DBTL facility for scaling-up of various research activities in academia/ industrial or joint industry-academia settings.
