Stanford Multi-Omics Hackathon 2026

about this event

The Stanford Bioinformatics Center is excited to announce the launch of the Multi-Omics Hackathon happening this September 25-27th, 2026. This is an opportunity to tackle complex biological questions at scale, explore high-dimensional multi-omics datasets from public initiatives like the MoTrPAC Data Hub, and collaborate directly with expert computational biologists, regardless of whether you are new to command-line tools or optimizing advanced pipelines.

WHO: Open to individuals at all levels of expertise in bioinformatics, coding, and biology.

WHAT: A 72-hour in-person collaborative event to rapidly develop targeted analysis tools using the MoTrPAC datasets available at https://motrpac-data.org/. Food and drinks are provided. For specific event information and project tracks, please visit https://stanford.bioinformatics-center.org/.

WHEN & WHERE: Friday, September 25th: Welcome and configuration, 3:00 - 5:00 PM PT at the Center for Academic Medicine (453 Quarry Rd, Palo Alto, CA 94304).
