Join Us for the 2nd Computational Biotechnology Hackathon

The Oliveira Lab is excited to host the 2nd Computational Biotechnology Hackathon, a one-day challenge at the intersection of biology and computation. This year we’re diving into the core of computational biology, from algorithm design and biological data analysis to modeling complex systems and closing the loop between AI and hardware.

Teams will design or simulate a computational biotechnology solution in a single day, with mentors from the lab guiding them along the way, and then present their work to a panel of judges.

📅 Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026
🕘 Time: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN), 2907 E Gate City Blvd, Greensboro, NC
💻 Format: Hybrid (in person and on Zoom)
🍕 Free pizza, coffee and donuts for in-person participants
🏆 Prizes: $100 Amazon gift card for the first-place team and $50 Amazon gift card for second place
