Our Mission

The Neural Biology Project is a student-led mission focused on expanding interest at the intersection of biology, artificial intelligence, and modern computation. We empower high school students to engage in research-driven challenges, build real solutions, and grow into the next generation of bio-computation thinkers.
Student-led. Beginner friendly. GitHub-based submissions.

Our Vision

Many high school students have the ability to do real computational work, but they don't have access to structure, prompts, datasets, or a community that takes their work seriously.

We're building an environment where students can apply creativity and strong problem-solving to real bio problems in health, genetics, neuroscience, and beyond. Our long-term goal is a national ecosystem of student-led research, innovation, and impact in bio-computation.

Realistic Workflow

Students practice the same loop used in computational biology: define the question, build a baseline, iterate, evaluate, and explain.

  • Baselines and comparisons
  • Reproducible results
  • Clear interpretation
Beginner Friendly

No prior experience required. We provide structured guides and examples so beginners can participate without being overwhelmed.

  • Starter templates and checklists
  • Basic Python and ML guidance
  • Community support
Portfolio Outcomes

Your output is a clean GitHub repository plus a short summary. It's tangible, reviewable, and easy to share.

  • Readable code + README
  • Results and plots
  • Short, clear explanation
Student-led

Built by students who understand what it feels like to want opportunities and not know where to start.

  • Clear expectations
  • Clean submissions
  • Practical learning
Research mindset

We focus on the “why” behind the approach, not just raw model performance. Documentation and reasoning matter.

  • Baselines and comparisons
  • Interpretation of results
  • Honest limitations
Accessible

Beginners are welcome. We provide curated resources and guidance so new students can still build something strong.

  • Starter guides
  • Templates and examples
  • Community support
