🧬 Rewiring Biology Hackathon by Owkin
​Rewiring Biology Hackathon
​July 11 - July 12, 2026 | San Francisco, California
​Join us for a two day hackathon where ML engineers, AI scientists, and computational biologists build the tools that help science move faster.
​Event Partners
​Amazon Web Services (AWS), You.com
​Background
​Owkin has spent years building infrastructure and datasets at the intersection of AI and biomedical research. Combined with K Pro, Owkin’s AI Scientist, this creates a rare opportunity to explore how AI can genuinely accelerate the pace of biomedical discovery.
​What you will build
​Participants will build MCP tools and agentic components that extend what AI Scientists like K Pro can already do: biological reasoning, hypotheses and insights generation, and semi-autonomous exploration of research spaces.
​Projects may include:
​MCP tools and agents that can be integrated in the future into K Pro
​Workflows that combine spatial and multi-omics data with public biomedical literature and knowledge bases
​Tool-using or multi-agent systems designed for research-style reasoning and analysis
​New capabilities that improve biologically grounded hypothesis generation and scientific question answering
​Who should apply
​We're selecting up to 50 participants to form interdisciplinary teams of 2–5 people. Your background and curiosity might be in AI and technology (agentic components, AI workflows, LLM-based reasoning, scientific tooling) or biology (computational biology, bioinformatics, biomedical imaging, and multi-omics data).
​Example profiles:
​Applied AI researchers
​ML engineers
​Agentic software engineers
​Computational biologists and bioinformaticians
​Biomedical researchers
​Biotech / biopharma product leads
​Application deadline: June 30, 2026
