SUMMARY:ClawBio\, developing your own genomic agent from scratch
DESCRIPTION:One day. Real genomic questions. Build agents that do useful 
 scientific work\, then show the room what they found.\n\n​AI agents can p
 lan multi-step work\, call tools\, run analyses and recover from failure.
  Biology is where that gets hard: results must be reproducible\, evidence
  must be traceable\, and an agent must know when it cannot support a clai
 m.\n\n​ClawBio is open-source infrastructure for that work. Its versioned
  skills make an agent's methods inspectable\, reproducible and open to ch
 allenge.\n\n​Boston is modelled on the latest ClawBio hackathon in Berlin
 \, with the format improved using what we learned there: setup before arr
 ival\, one clear help route\, faster team formation and more protected bu
 ild time.\n\n​Everything runs through Slack\n​The ClawBio Slack community
  is where we work before\, during and after the event. Register for the e
 vent to receive access for setup\, introductions\, team formation\, help\
 , demos and follow-up. The join link is not posted publicly.\n\n​#boston-
 general: introductions\, announcements\, timetable and resources\n\n​#bos
 ton-help: the single route for setup\, access\, data\, tool and testing p
 roblems\n\n​#boston-teams: ideas\, team formation\, challenge selection a
 nd working links\n\n​#boston-demos: demos\, evidence\, limitations and wh
 at happens next\n\n​Registered participants will receive a short technica
 l preflight through Slack. Complete it before arrival so that the day can
  be spent building.\n\n​What you will build\n​Choose a published challeng
 e brief or bring a biological question that we can scope with you. Challe
 nge directions include:\n\n​End the diagnostic odyssey\n\n​Build a cancer
  target you would defend\n\n​Ask whose genome a method fails on\n\n​Bring
  your own question\n\n​Your team will build an agent that can do useful s
 cientific work\, expose its evidence and state what it cannot claim. A Gi
 tHub contribution is welcome when it fits the project\, but the day is ab
 out useful work and learning\, not chasing a pull request count.\n\n​What
  you get\n​A full day focused on one real scientific problem\n\n​A team o
 f four to five people formed around shared interests\n\n​Practical suppor
 t with ClawBio\, agent workflows and reproducible bioinformatics\n\n​A ch
 ance to demo what you built and make the evidence visible\n\n​A community
  workspace that remains active after the event\n\n​Who should come\n​Bioi
 nformaticians and computational biologists\n\n​Genomics researchers and c
 linical scientists\n\n​Software engineers and research software engineers
 \n\n​Machine learning practitioners interested in scientific agents\n\n​S
 tudents\, founders and builders with a serious biological question\n\n​No
  previous ClawBio or AI coding-agent experience is required. You should b
 e comfortable reading or running code. Bring a laptop and charger. Teams 
 will be formed on the day.\n\n​Programme\n​09:00 Doors open and community
  introductions\n\n​09:20 Welcome: genomics in an agentic world\n\n​09:40

 ent\n\n​15:15 Team demos and room voting\n\n​16:00 Close and community fo
 llow-up\n\n​Practical details\n​Friday 25 September 2026\, 09:00 to 16:00

 n\n​Registration is required. Only public or synthetic data may be used d
 uring the hackathon.\n\n​Organised by Manuel Corpas and Mohammad Tanhaema
 mi.\n\n​Sponsors and community partners\n​We welcome a small number of sp
 onsors who can help cover food and drinks for the 120-person room and con
 tribute prizes or model credits for participants. Support must benefit th
 e community and does not control the scientific content. Contact the orga
 nisers through Luma if your organisation can help.
