Join our Machine Learning Challenge

Scientists are increasingly turning to competitions to leverage machine learning for solving biomedical problems. At the Schmidt Center, we’re taking this work one step further by using machine learning competitions to help prioritize what experiments biologists could run next.
Obesity Machine Learning Competition: Tackling Metabolic Diseases

The challenge is now live (as of December 2025)! Your goal: predict how specific gene perturbations influence the fate of fat cells — whether they differentiate into energy-storing white adipocytes or shift toward energy-expending states.
