Unlock the collective wisdom of gamers for life science

About

We are a team of computer scientists and bioinformaticians based at the School of Computer Science at McGill University.

We develop artificial intelligence systems that combine the intuition of humans with the speed of computers to solve complex problems in biology and genomics. Our technology aims to tap into the vast reservoir of problem-solving skills acquired by video gamers while maintaining the entertaining experience. Our data and software are freely accessible.
