! Here are the competition details. Click the button below if you're interested in competing, or digging deeper into the specifics.
Competition Description:
You’re challenged to create a model that can identify a range of nuclei across varied conditions. By automating nucleus detection, you could help unlock cures faster—from rare disorders to the common cold. Why nuclei? Identifying the cells’ nuclei is the starting point for most analyses. Most of the human body’s 30 trillion cells contain a nucleus full of DNA, the genetic code that programs each cell. Identifying nuclei allows researchers to identify each individual cell in a sample, and by measuring how cells react to various treatments, the researcher can understand the underlying biological processes at work. The solution to this competition will allow for more efficient drug testing, shortening the 10 years it takes for each new drug to come to market.
Next important deadline:
April 9th, 2018 - Entry deadline. You must accept the competition rules before this date in order to compete.
Total prizes:
$100,000
Host:
Booz Allen Hamilton and the at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. Booz Allen Hamilton is a large management and technology consulting firm, working with leading Fortune 500 corporations, governments, and not-for-profits globally. The Carpenter Lab is a research group focused on developing advanced methods and software tools to quantify and mine cellular images to yield biological discoveries.
This is a great opportunity to test your skills, at least you can give it a try.
