Abstract The Nobel Turing Challenge (NTC) proposes AI systems capable of autonomous, Nobel-level scientific discovery. The IJNTC2025 workshop convened researchers from India and Japan to advance this goal in health and biomedicine. This perspective synthesizes four themes: knowledge extraction, laboratory automation, hypothesis generation, and equitable healthcare applications.

Summary Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has escalated to pandemic levels, posing a significant global health threat. This study examines the patterns and trends of AMR in Bloodstream Infections (BSIs) across India, aiming to inform better surveillance and intervention strategies. Six-year data from 21 tertiary care centers in the Indian Council of Medical Research's AMR Surveillance Network (IAMRSN) were retrospectively analyzed to estimate cluster-robust trends in resistance.

Until January 2022, there have been more than 6,000 mutations in the spike gene of the SARS-CoV-2 Until January 2022, there have been more than 6,000 mutations in the spike gene of the SARS-CoV-2 New and emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus continue to pose a threat to the health of populations across the globe. Counting the unique and observable changes in the sequences available until January 2022 shows more than 6,000 mutations have accumulated in the spike gene of the virus.
