In June 2025, @Biocon_FDN, in partnership with @BeSTCluster and @NCBS_Bangalore, launched BioWISE (Bio Women in STEM Empowered)—an initiative to expand access, participation and retention of women from Tier 2 and 3 institutions across Karnataka in the life sciences. Today, that vision is translating into on-ground impact. On April 2, 2026, the first cohort of 15 postgraduate scholars was formally onboarded at the Biocon Campus, beginning a six-month internship and mentorship journey across NCBS, IBAB, IISc and Biocon. The program creates a structured pathway for academic talent to transition into scientific careers. In addition to the postgraduate cohort, 10 undergraduate students are set to join the program in the coming months. Through scholarships, industry exposure, lab immersion, mentorship and structured career guidance, BioWISE aims to equip young women with the skills, confidence and professional networks they need to thrive as future scientists. We look forward to sharing more stories and milestones from the BioWISE Cohort 1 experience as their journey unfolds.

Scientific Secretary Dr. Parvinder Maini delivered an address during the launch of the first cohort of Post Graduate BioWISE (Bio–Women in STEM Empowered) Fellowship 2025-26. In her address, Dr. Maini stated, “The future of science and innovation will depend on how inclusively we nurture and strengthen our talent pipeline. When women are given equal access to opportunities, supported in their growth, and empowered to lead, the entire ecosystem benefits. Initiatives like BioWISE reflect this vision by bringing together academia, industry, and government to bridge the gap between education and workforce readiness, while enabling women from diverse backgrounds to contribute meaningfully to the future of science and innovation.” The BioWISE Fellowship is an initiative, conceptualised by the @BeSTCluster, and implemented in partnership with the Biocon Foundation(@Biocon_FDN), and the National Centre for Biological Sciences (@NCBS_Bangalore). BIOWISE 2025-26 (Cohort 1-PG) is a 6-month internship and mentorship program for final year PG students or recent PG graduates from Tier 2 or Tier 3 institutions. The current cohort comprises 15 selected students, and the programme is presently ongoing. This fellowship is aimed at enhancing the participation and employability of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with a special focus on the life sciences. The programme is designed to support women from underrepresented backgrounds by offering guidance, equitable opportunities, and structured mentorship. @iiscbangalore | @DrVishalChoudh6 | @anantha02814741 | | Vivek Kumar | Dr. Sreeparna Samanta
