Collaboration

iGEM teams participating in BioHackathon

Our team organized an international programming contest of life sciences–"BioHackathon'19: Lab App". This event was an excellent way to engage and collaborate with life sciences and IT specialists to find answers and solve complex issues related to biology discipline. We believe this type of collaboration is a great way to exchange experience with other iGEM teams. Also, it is a unique chance for iGEM teams to develop their programs or tools during the event with the support of professional mentors. Basing our idea on this rationale, we invited iGEM teams to participate in the "BioHackathon'19: Lab App" event. Three teams accepted our invitation to participate in the hackathon–we welcomed an iGEM team Stockholm from Sweden, iGEM team Marburg from Germany, and team Copenhagen from Denmark. A complex three-day event of the BioHackathon took place in the Vilnius University Life Sciences Center. Before the opening ceremony of the event, iGEM teams had a moment to visit our daily workspace–Life Sciences Center laboratories. During the hackathon, teams had a chance to present their ideas and get support from the life sciences, IT professionals, project management specialists, and entrepreneurs. Some teams have been in touch with mentors even after the event and received their advice. To find the answer in solving compound issues is the main idea what the team needs to do during the 48-hours of coding. We are happy that iGEM teams had improved their projects or facilitated the realization of primary insights. After the BioHackathon, we had iGEM teams meeting. We used this meeting as a chance to share and discuss our iGEM projects. We shared the experience of our team formation and reflected on the importance of every team member's expectations towards the project outcome; the teams also shared experience in fundraising and laboratory work processes. We designed BioHackathon as a great collaboration opportunity to learn about other iGEM projects, exchange knowledge, and experience.
