CMU Libraries is hosting a collaborative hackathon in partnership with DNAnexus on the topic of machine learning and AI approaches to multimodal problems in computational biology. The hackathon will be held in person at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh on March 3-5 with the option of virtual participation for international folks.
All code and software generated in this hackathon will be shared publicly on GitHub. The outputs of the hackathon are often published open access as preprints. This is a great opportunity to work on interesting computational biology problems with experts and contribute to a paper or computational pipelines.
Please fill out this brief application form to participate. Applications will be accepted until February 15, with early acceptance for people who need to make travel arrangements. Most of our participants are graduate students, postdocs, staff scientists, and faculty, but anyone is welcome to apply.
Please contact Melanie Gainey (mgainey@andrew.cmu.edu) with any questions about the hackathon.
