This is an exclusive event for individuals who exemplify excellence in either the AI or life sciences domains. Whether you're an early-career professional or a rising star, your presence here signifies your dedication to shaping the future of biotechnology through AI.
The hackathon has been designed to provide a collaborative and competitive environment for individuals with a background in the life sciences (e.g. geneticists, synthetic biologists, computational biologists) and/or computer science (AI specialists, ML engineers, developers); however, we welcome applicants who have honed their skills elsewhere and are determined to innovate in this space.
