Simularium: Accelerating discovery by animating insight

Allen Institute tool is helping researchers better understand biology

Simularium is an innovative online tool designed by the Allen Institute’s Cell Science team that visualizes 4D simulations (animations) of complex biological processes—like how a virus behaves—which allows researchers to better understand, test, and interpret these processes. Converting numbers and equations into visually compelling and interpretable models in space and time brings the data to life. This allows researchers around the world to openly share insights in an accessible way that aids in the reproducibility of findings, accelerating the pace of discovery across the globe.
