rlm@84 169 On February 26, 2015 I went to the <a href="http://www.organpreservationalliance.org/">Organ Preservation Alliance's</a>
rlm@84 170 <a href="http://www.obs2015.org/">Global Organ Banking Summit</a>, where I competed in the hackathon
rlm@84 171 competition with around eight other teams from around the world. The
rlm@84 172 goal was to come up with promising new areas relating to organ
rlm@84 173 preservation, with an emphasis on novelty and practicality. Each team
rlm@84 174 was assigned a professional cryobiologist to help evaluate
rlm@84 175 ideas. There were three rounds of judging:
rlm@84 176 </p>
rlm@84 177
rlm@84 178 <ol class="org-ol">
rlm@84 179 <li>An initial review of our ideas where we selected one to develop
rlm@84 180 further.</li>
rlm@84 181 <li>Presentation to a selected panel of judges. Only two teams would be
rlm@84 182 selected out of the eight from this round.</li>
rlm@84 183 <li>Final presentation to the entire Summit, where all the
rlm@84 184 cryobiologists present would determine the winner.</li>
rlm@84 185 </ol>
rlm@84 186
rlm@84 187 <p>
rlm@84 188 Our team came up with the idea of poly-vitrification and presented the
rlm@84 189 following presentation, available here:
rlm@84 190 <a href="../ref/2015-McIntyre-OPA-hackathon-presentation.pdf">2015-McIntyre-OPA-hackathon-presentation</a>.
rlm@84 191 </p>
rlm@84 192
rlm@84 193 <p>
rlm@84 194 Later, we wrote up a summary and published it in an abstract in the
rlm@84 195 journal Cryobiology: <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0011224015001686">Poly-Vitrification Abstract</a>.
rlm@84 196 </p>
rlm@84 197
rlm@84 198 <p>
rlm@84 199 We gave a really solid presentation and ended up winning the
rlm@84 200 competition and the prize money, which we split four-ways among our
rlm@84 201 group members. It was really quite a fun experience!
