The Neural Biology Project

The NeuroBio Challenge A student-led research challenge at the intersection of biology and computation.

The Timeline

What is the NeuroBio Challenge?

The NeuroBio Challenge is a national, student-led competition where high school students attempt to find unique solutions to a given theme. Participants can choose one of three curated, research-based prompts and use tools like machine learning, bioinformatics, and neural modeling to design and submit innovative solutions. These prompts are not only a challenge, but current real-world problems.

This isn't just another science fair. Unlike most projects, we only require results and a well formatted paper that can be submitted to high standing journals.

Why Participate?

Gain Experience

By competition in our challenge, you will gain the mindset of a frontier researcher and develop your computational skills, whether thats in C/C++, Julia, or Python!

Publish Your Research

All your research conducted on our prompts is completely yours. With our guidence, you will be able to develop a professional research paper that, if done right, could even be published to high ranking scientific journals!

Prizes

The top solutions will win first, second, and third place, which comes with its own awards and prestige. Even if your solution does not win, the majority of research paper submitted will also be published in our own journal!

Resources
