$100 Nebius AI Studio Credits
NVIDIA BioNeMo Framework
CHALLENGES
AI systems that act in collaboration with scientists, engineers, or clinicians to accelerate existing workflows across research, development, and operations.
Methods to improve representation and inference in intricate biological systems or clinical challenges, with multi-modal or biologically-informed architectures, or novel applications of foundation models.
Molecular Optimization and Genomic Modeling
Methods for modeling genomic sequences and molecular structures for drug development and target or biomarker identification, working with data at the genomic, transcriptomic, or protein level.
REGIONAL HACKATHONS
Not an incorporated start-up ready to commit to a 10 day sprint? Regional hackathons provide short-term access to the Nebius cloud computing platform and NVIDIA modeling resources. A great fit for AI/ML engineers looking to experiment with projects in healthcare and biology, startups looking for new team members, or anyone interested in building with the models available through NVIDIA BioNeMo and the Nebius AI Studio.
Prior experience building and training AI models is recommended. Applicants are not required to apply with a pre-existing team or project.
