AI-Powered Training for Tomorrow’s Biotech Innovators

Students discussing strategy for a design project

The NextGenBio project strengthens the Capital Region by investing in local students and educators through hands-on learning experiences.

Participants will explore how biotechnology, AI, and precision manufacturing can be used to address some of the most pressing challenges facing their families and neighborhoods: climate change, sustainable agriculture, access to healthcare, and renewable materials.
