Stanford Bioinformatics Center Multi-Omics Hackathon

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Dive into one of the richest molecular datasets of exercise ever assembled and reveal what science hasn’t yet seen. Explore the most comprehensive molecular maps of exercise ever assembled with massive multi-omic datasets generated by the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) and connect it with NIH Common Fund resources like GTEx, LINCS, SPARC, and Metabolomics Workbench. Real data. Real biology. Open science.

Stanford Bioinformatics Center Multi-Omic Hackathon: Leveraging MoTrPAC Datasets for Accelerated Development and Discovery

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. We hope you’ll join us in person for this exciting event!

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/
