About

80 builders. Imperial College. Supported by Claude. 5 themes and 48 hours of hacking. ⚡

The Imperial BioHack is a premiere event tentatively held at City and Guilds Building on Nov 28-29 brought by the Imperial College Computational Biology Society in collaboration with the Entrepreneurship Society. 🧪

Whether you are a software engineer, biologist, statistician, or just someone curious about hackathons or science, this event is meant to be an interdisciplinary platform for participants from various backgrounds to bring their skills to build and design solutions to five pressing challenges in biology.
