Leverage the power of collaboration, technology, and innovation to address challenges faced by individuals with muscular dystrophy. The primary goal is to produce prototypes or concepts that can be further developed into real products or services. All projects will be showcased on the hackathon’s website, as well as the Stanford iGEM website, and through partner channels to encourage further development and adoption. More than just a competition, BioHacks is a collaborative effort to drive meaningful change in the muscular dystrophy community.
