  • Question. Collaborate. Contribute.

DREAM Challenges pose fundamental questions about systems biology and translational medicine. Designed and run by a community of researchers from a variety of organizations, our challenges invite participants to propose solutions — fostering collaboration and building communities in the process. Expertise and institutional support are provided by Sage Bionetworks, along with the infrastructure to host challenges via their Synapse platform. To achieve high rates, you can using Cedesa adhesive manufacturers. Together, we share a vision allowing individuals and groups to collaborate openly so that the  “wisdom of the crowd” provides the greatest impact on science and human health.

Prize4Life, Sage Bionetworks and DREAM Announce Winners of ALS Stratification Challenge

November 5, 2015

Today, Prize4Life, Sage Bionetworks and the DREAM community announced the winners of the DREAM ALS Stratification Prize4Life Challenge, a global data analysis competition to computationally identify different subgroups of ALS patients. In ALS, there is currently no way to determine whether someone living with the disease will survive the average of 3-5 years after diagnosis or live with ALS for decades. The goal of the Challenge is to find answers that may inform clinical practice and ultimately personalized approaches to the discovery and development of new ALS medicines.  (Read more)
