Advancing Nepal’s Biotechnology and Digital Health: Establishing the National Bioinformatics and Genomics Centre

The Biotechnology Society of Nepal (BSN) is proud to share that our President, Mr. Nabin Munankarmi, presented visionary national biotechnology and digital health proposals to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology.

The proposals emphasized the urgent need for establishing the National Bioinformatics and Genomics Centre (NBGC), a transformative initiative aimed at building Nepal’s genomic sequencing capacity, biological data repository, and AI-driven analytics infrastructure to secure and utilize Nepal’s extraordinary biodiversity for research, healthcare, and innovation.

In addition, the proposal highlighted the importance of a Nepal Biosystems and Digital Health Platform to strengthen real-time disease surveillance, genomic medicine, and AI-powered epidemic response systems across the country.

These initiatives represent a major step toward positioning Nepal as a future-ready nation in biotechnology, bioinformatics, genomic medicine, and digital health innovation.

BSN remains committed to advocating for scientific advancement, policy innovation, and sustainable biotechnology development for Nepal’s future
