Therapeutics
Connect a biological question to its evidence. Build tools that find relevant research and surface findings that disagree.

Build at the intersection of
AI and biology.
One-day hackathons for curious scientists and engineers. Build and test AI tools for shared scientific problems.
The science
we build around.
Three proposed themes for our first programmes.
Agricultural resilience
Test crop-image models across field conditions. Find where they fail, and build better ways to investigate those errors.
Biosecurity
Help analysts distinguish useful signals from false alarms, using synthetic or permitted aggregate data.
One day of
focused work.
For early-career scientists and engineers who are curious enough to cross disciplines—and willing to test their ideas.
Find your team.
Bring a strength in biology, computation or engineering. Work in a team of 3–5 around a defined scientific question.
Build. Test. Refine.
Start with prepared data, starter code and a baseline. Develop your approach with scientific and technical guidance.
Show your thinking.
Present what you built, how it compares and where it falls short. Discuss the work and your contribution with reviewers.
Dates, locations and application details will be announced once confirmed.
Ask about the programmeBring a problem
worth working on.
Help shape the first Carbon programmes. Contribute a scientific challenge, data, tools, mentoring or a place to meet.
Discuss a partnershipAbout Carbon
We’re developing a programme that brings biological and technical expertise into the same room—with prepared resources, time to build and thoughtful review of the work.
A few things to know.
Who is it for?
Undergraduate and graduate students, PhD researchers, recent graduates and early-career scientists and engineers are welcome to express interest. Selection criteria will be published with each programme.
Do I need both biology and coding?
No. Teams need different strengths. Bring a useful skill, curiosity and a willingness to work across disciplines.
When can I apply?
Dates, locations and application details will be announced once confirmed. You can contact us now to express interest.
