Hack for RARE 2021 is a virtual hackathon event organized by the Children’s Tumor Foundation and MIT Hacking Medicine.
For the first time, we are inviting rare disease organizations to join us and create challenges that will advance the research fields around a distinct group of rare genetic conditions.
In this hackathon, you will be provided with access to research data sets, patient data, literature collections, and other resources to explore. You will have access to mentors (both discipline and disease experts), including researchers and clinicians. You will also have access to patients to learn first-person experiences and needs so you can develop applicable, real-world solutions!
