Harvard Undergraduate OpenBio Laboratory Datathon 2026

​Join us for Harvard Undergraduate OpenBio Laboratory's Datathon! Bringing together students and professionals across the Boston area to participate in a hands-on challenge using real biological datasets in genomics, bioinformatics and healthcare to build technical and global-health portfolios.

​Teams will choose from one of two tracks to explore an open-ended question, analyze data and present a finding, hypothesis, model or potential intervention point. Theme: understanding preeclampsia across scales, from maternal-fetal biology to health-system delivery.

​Participants may include, but not limited to, individuals with backgrounds spanning biology, CS, statistics, engineering, medicine and public/global health. Prior research experience is not required. Individuals can arrive with pre-set teams or arrive day of and join a team!

​Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided on Saturday.
