Lawrence Livermore Data Science Challenge Information Session
Don’t miss this unique opportunity! The experience will be unlike any other. This intensive 2-week full-time training program provides challenging exercises and assignments, virtual tours, and seminars. For 2 weeks, you’ll work on an important data science problem while learning from experts, networking with peers, and developing skills for future internships. You’ll also get a taste of day-to-day life at LLNL, where we have a passion for national service. Read about the 2021 UCM Challenge. You’ll solve an exciting problem in drug discovery for COVID-19. Traditional drug discovery involves many time-consuming and expensive experimental steps. Machine learning and other data science techniques can drastically accelerate this process, which is especially important in a global pandemic. IN THIS CHALLENGE, you will work with a massive database of virtual molecule screening results, chemical and protein structures, and designed synthetic antibodies to identify drug compounds that can be used to create medicines that prevent and treat COVID-19 infections. Read about your LLNL mentors.
