Methotrexate VR
Methotrexate is a folate inhibitor that targets the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme, resulting in interference with nucleotide synthesis and cellular repair. For this reason, methotrexate is used as an anti-cancer drug. The goal of this app is to demonstrate the activity of methotrexate when interacting with DHFR in a virtual environment that requires the user […]

Aspirin is one of the most well-known pharmaceuticals and its precursor has been used since ancient times as a pain reliever. Along with its well-known pain relief and anti-inflammatory, aspirin is also used as a blood thinner and may reduce the risk of some types of cancer. As our first prototype VR application, we developed […]
