Hackathon: AI agents transforming life sciences, medicine, and healthcare
December 1, 2026 @ 09:00 – 19:00 CET
Join us on 1 December 2026 for a hackathon focused on developing AI agents for applications in life sciences, medicine and healthcare. There is a lot happening in the agentic AI sphere right now, and many people have great ideas or knowledge that can be exchanged. We hope that during this event we can build interesting things together, share knowledge with each other, and network.
The hackathon is open to members of the SciLifeLab, DDLS and WASP communities and is jointly organised by SciLifeLab, the WASP Research Arena for Medicine (WARA Medicine), and the DDLS research areas of Cell and Molecular Biology and Precision Medicine and Diagnostics.
Everyone is welcome to join, whether you have a specific idea for something to build or you simply want to join and build together with others. In the registration form we will ask you to share interests or propose ideas for a project, and we will do our best to create teams based on the ideas and interests. If you have already formed a team with which you will work, you can indicate this in the registration form. There will also be opportunities to form or adjust teams at the beginning of the day.
During the hackathon, participants will get API keys to access Claude and open weight models hosted by SciLifeLab. We will also facilitate hosting of your tools on the SciLifeLab Kubernetes cluster if needed.
We will start the day with breakfast and pitches of various ideas (pre-submitted or spontaneous). We will end the day with pizza for everyone. We can accept up to 70 participants. If you have questions or suggestions, get in touch with us: datacentre@scilifelab.se
