Team Project Overview TBA!
In Transcription @UCLA is holding BioHackathon 2026! All guests are welcome to visit our final poster session on May 2nd!
BioHackathon is an annual event InT@UCLA hold. We believe that project-based learning is the best way to learn, get creative, and form lasting connections. Through this event, we hope to connect life science students nationwide and encourage them to think big yet practical, and build meaningful products or proposals.
Participants will form teams of 2-4 people, develop a meaningful project within 4 given tracks, and present to a panel of judge on final presentation day.
Participants will have a chance to connect with esteemed professors and industry professionals, meet like-minded peers, and get customized support for their projects.
The final result may serve as a starting point for your senior theses, direction for summer research projects, or even a product that can go directly to market!
