The Amgen Scholars Program has been launched in India for the first time at the International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIIT Hyderabad). This program is a two-year commitment from Amgen that aims to inspire the next generation of scientific innovators through AI-enabled research in healthcare and drug discovery.

The inaugural cohort consists of 10 undergraduate scholars, including students from India, Vietnam, Qatar, and Dubai. These students are pursuing undergraduate programs in science, engineering, and related disciplines at universities across Asia.

As part of the intensive two-month residential research experience, students will explore artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in fundamental sciences, drug design and discovery, healthcare, cheminformatics, genomics, and related areas alongside faculty mentors at IIIT Hyderabad.
