"My HackBio experience (and preprint) was my leverage for an interesting conversation with my interview with my Graduate School Admission Team."

Winfred Gatua (Now a bioinformatician at in University of Bristol, UK)

"Through the [internship], I was introduced to the world of genomics and bioinformatics, gaining hands-on experience with tools and pipeline development that gave me a strong foundation. That single event helped me clarify my interests and set me on the data-driven biomedica path I walk today. I will always be grateful to the access, exposure and direction that came from that one LinkedIn post."

Temitope Ayano (Now a Data Analyst at GFA Tech, Nigeria)

"HackBio provided me with my first real-world bioinformatics project, allowing me to apply the skills I had been learning in a meaningful way. The experience bridged the gap between theory and practice, and completing the project gave me a huge confidence boost. The training phase at HackBio was also highly motivating, with constant help from mentors. It reinforced the importance of community and mentorship in learning technical skills."

Aanuoluwa Adekoya (Now a bioinformatician at in University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA.)

"[I] started without a programming background. HackBio played a crucial role in my growth in bioinformatics by giving me hands-on experince in metagenomics analysis, team collaboration and leadership. The internship was structured in multiple stages with a final project."

Isha Barve (Now a bioinformatician at Lubeck University, Germany)

The HackBio Experience

HackBio was modelled after real-world bioinformatics and data science projects. The experience is fully hands-on and practical not passive tutorials. Every module is task-driven, focused on mastering a tool, and designed to mirror how work is done in actual research and industry settings.

Learn Bioinformatics by Doing with Structure

Train With Tools Employers and Labs Actually Use

Get Mentorship and Direction Most Programs Avoid

Build Proof of Skill, Not Certificates of Attendance

Who is this internship for?

You are a

great

fit if:

  • Self-taught learners who are tired of piecing together YouTube videos and random tutorials, and want a structured, real-world learning experience.
  • Ambitious beginners in bioinformatics, data science, or computational biology who are ready to roll up their sleeves and get hands-on.
  • Researchers or postgrads who want to learn how to analyze biological data, build pipelines, or publish with confidence.
  • Anyone ready to put in the work, follow the roadmap, and build a real portfolio they can proudly show employers or grad schools.

You are

not

a fit if:

  • Those looking for a “watch-and-passively-consume” experience — this is hands-on, project-based learning.
  • People expecting instant results. - We believe growth is earned, not gifted
  • Folks unwilling to collaborate — HackBio thrives on peer-to-peer support, team challenges, and real-world interactions.
  • Advanced experts looking for deep academic theory — we focus on practical skills, tools, and industry application.

Stay at the forefront of AI, Bioinformatics and Data
