The Future Unveiled: BITM to Host Lecture on Biocomputers and AI Innovation

Kolkata’s Birla Industrial & Technological Museum (BITM), a unit of the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM), under the Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India, in collaboration with the Royal Society of Chemistry, Eastern India Section, is all set to present the 25th Niroprova Memorial Lecture. This year’s lecture promises a captivating glimpse into groundbreaking innovations, titled 'Biocomputer and AI: The Dawn of Tomorrow's Machines.' The session will be delivered by the eminent Professor Sangram Bagh from the Biophysics and Structural Genomics Division at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP), Kolkata.

Scheduled for December 13, 2024, at 11.30 AM, this lecture offers a chance to explore the cutting-edge fusion of biology and artificial intelligence. Prof Bagh’s pioneering research has demonstrated how genetically engineered bacteria can perform complex computational tasks like addition, subtraction, and even identifying prime numbers. These experiments signify a leap toward developing biocomputers—machines built from living cells.

Through his work, Prof Bagh and his team have unveiled a fascinating future where clusters of bacterial cells can solve abstract problems in laboratory settings. This innovation not only paves the way for novel computational technologies but also marks a significant step in achieving the long-term dream of creating fully functional biocomputers.

The event promises to inspire scientists, students, and enthusiasts alike by shedding light on how biology and AI can collaboratively redefine technology.
