Apply Now: $10,000 African AI Drug Discovery Fellowships

Early-career African drug discovery researchers writing in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry put Africa’s share of global scientific output at 2 to 3 percent, against a continent holding more than 85 percent of the world’s neglected tropical disease cases.

Scientific output can increase with a hands-on mentoring program designed to support scientists who want to apply open-source AI tools to their drug discovery projects for infectious diseases.

AI Incubator is a six-month program with biweekly mentoring, sponsored travel, and a $10,000 fellowship for senior researchers, or teams of up to four scientists, at an academic or nonprofit institution in the WHO African Region.
