The deadline to apply is January 20th, 2024. Please direct all questions to: hack4dnucleome@gmail.com. Find more details and the application here: hack4dnucleome.github.io
The “SenNet + HOA - Hacking the Human Vasculature in 3D” Kaggle competition is now LIVE at https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/blood-vessel-segmentation. The aim of this competition is to solve a fundamental problem in at least one organ, and to develop a first understanding of what vascular scaffold is needed to map senescent cells in tissue regions. A total prize amount of $80,000 (sponsored by Kaggle, CIFAR, and Thermo Fisher Scientific) will be distributed among the five winning teams. You can join any time before January 30, 2024. Our welcome message here includes additional information and links. Please share this information widely! For questions, contact Nancy Ruschman: nruschma@iu.edu
