Ideathon will be structured to facilitate focused discussion and create collaborative research projects at the interface between biology and mathematics, theory, and computation.

Participants will:

• Introduce their expertise to one another via lightning talks and individual sharing

• Contribute their vision concerning unsolved problems facing their respective fields

• Organize into teams to address the most promising collaborative approaches

• Summarize research plans they think are most likely to be successful

​Workshop participation will be limited. Attendance will be balanced equally between experimental and theoretical approaches, and will be distributed equally across different career stages. Early career participants are especially encouraged to apply.

Teams will have the opportunity to return through NITMB’s Focused Research Award Program to continue their work together.
