In Spring 2022, Praxis AI hosted a BioHackathon with Meharry Medical College to explore treatments for rare kidney cancer.
For 55+ hours, 35+ BioHackers collaborated to explore Bill Paseman’s medical challenges (kidney cancer and brain tumor) and solutioneer new, creative, exciting alternative therapeutics. Three teams explored six hypotheses and made startling discoveries.
Praxis AI is a modern education & research company dedicated to solving many of the world’s toughest problems.
Founded in 2019, Praxis AI revolutionized learning at a U.S. university, built a virtual institute for indigenous health research, designed the ISO Digital Learning standard, and hosted a cancer BioHackathon.
Everything changed in Spring 2020 when COVID-19 forced millions of teachers in higher education, K-12, and enterprise learning to transform their courses online.
With the help of Professor Alex Feltus, Praxis AI was born from this chaos and played an important role in helping institutions, teachers, and students transform their programs in unique and significant ways.

Earners of the Bioinformatics digital credential have successfully demonstrated experiential skills in computational biology, genome data mining, structural bioinformatics, and systems biology. The Bioinformatics badge requires 50+ hours of hands-on activities and labs across 20+ skills in biotech R&D. Start your journey today!
Curcumin actions in the body are mediated through dozens of interactions with human proteins that are associated with multiple pathways. In this three, half-day BioHackathon, we will understand and address this hypothesis via lectures and discussions of the holistic Ayurvedic medicine approach; data mining with tutorials on the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (www.ctdbase.org), PharmGKB (www.pharmgkb.org), and Protein Data Bank (www.rcsb.org); and collaborate with other creative people to identify how curcumin works holistically at the biochemical and genetic levels.
