Datathon Hack Night!

The Datathon ongoing event was created by DataPhilly (https://www.meetup.com/dataphilly) in partnership with Code for Philly (https://www.meetup.com/code-for-philly/) as a voluntary effort for the technology community to come together and combine software development, machine learning and predictive analysis expertise to develop a service that helps researchers identify drugs that are targeted to the genomic features of specific cancers.

The project's name is "cognoma" - a portmanteau of the words cognition and carcinoma. Organization occurs on GitHub at cognoma/cognoma (https://github.com/cognoma/cognoma).

Hack nights provide an opportunity for in-person team work. To achieve the aims of this project, we're seeking individuals with experience in full stack web development, user experience & design, data visualization, and machine learning. Most development is done in Python.

We look forward to seeing those of you who can make it to the Hack Night, and continuing to interact throughout the course of the project on GitHub.
