9th Annual Bio-Hack
This year's event will be held on February 7-8th, 2026.
BioHack 2026
This year, Ohio State's Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) will be hosting its 9th annual Bio-Hack, a weekend-long hackathon full of engineering, learning, networking, and innovation.
The theme for this year's Bio-Hack is Organ Transplant Viability. In the U.S., 20–30% of recovered organs are discarded, and over 100,000 patients remain on transplant waitlists. This year we are challenging participants to devise a solution to decrease missed transplant opportunities and preventable graft failure to combat ongoing organ shortages.
Bio-Hack gives engineers and clinicians a unique, experiential learning opportunity to build and engineer health technologies.

How it works?
Teams can take inspiration from challenges presented by our supporting companies and organizations. After the 24-hour "hacking" session is over, teams present their projects to industry experts and judges to get feedback and compete for prizes.
Hacking Challenge
Many viable donor organs are discarded or fail after transplant due to subjective viability assessment and inadequate preservation during transport, we challenge participants to come up with a solution.
