Inaugural Global Health Jubilee

UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences

Join the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub (CZB) and UCSF’s Institute for Global Health Sciences (IGHS) at this hackathon to develop innovative new solutions to global health challenges. Be part of a team of researchers from across a range of disciplines – including public health and medicine, engineering, data sciences, and the physical sciences – to brainstorm innovative products, services, and applications, with the most promising ideas selected for ongoing support and development by CZB and IGHS.
The initial Jubilee will focus on conceiving new tools to monitor and control outdoor biting mosquitos that transmit malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue and chikungunya.
No previous malaria or vector expertise required.
