Bio.Kitchen // Tech Challenge Hackathon

Challenge 1: Hacking Antibiotic Resistance: 50 000 people die every year from multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens. Antibiotics are failing as the one-drug-fits-all concept was outsmarted by evolution.

Today, diagnose and treatments can be tailored individually for every patient needs. Use our lab automation and synthetic biology toolset to prototype tomorrows clinical processes to solve the antibiotic crisis with personalisable therapy and clinical hygiene concepts.

Challenge 2: Bio-Tournament: Hack evolution and outsmart your opponent bacterial cultures. Advance your microfluidic workstation and overcome the opponents cells with phages and resistance breeding. Engineer your strains and acquire new functions with directed evolution. Form a team, build your own lab-on-a-chip technology and apply your setup in a real-time biological competition against other teams to take over as much space on the agar playground as possible.

A biological competition. As real as it gets. Coming soon...(no GMO will be created in this game)
