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.

Autoimmune Disease Machine Learning Challenge

We held a machine learning challenge from October 2024 -- April 2025, in which participants designed algorithms to enable a more accurate diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
