DESCRIPTION:The [Manchester Cell-Matrix Centre] (https://www.manchester-mat
 rix.org)\, in collaboration with [AIBIO-UK] (https://aibio.ac.uk/events/ma
 nchester-cell-matrix-centre-hackathon-13th-14th-november-2025/)\, invites 
 participants to join an exciting **online hackathon** taking place over 15
  hours across 13th–14th November 2025. Both teams and individuals are we
 lcome to participate.\n\nResearchers at Manchester have compiled a compreh
 ensive dataset detailing the physical properties of alginate-based hydroge
 ls. While linear models have shown some success in predicting individual p
 roperties from input compositions\, this hackathon challenges participants
  to apply modern machine learning techniques to predict a broader range of
  hydrogel properties more accurately and simultaneously.\n\nThe goal is to
  develop a “first-pass” curation tool that can significantly reduce th
 e time researchers spend identifying viable formulations for simulating ti
 ssue biology—potentially saving thousands of hours in experimental work.
 \n\nParticipants will compete to build the most accurate predictive model\
 , with recognition for the most innovative and effective approaches.
