Announcing The NIH Long COVID Computational Challenge (L3C)
Join the challenge to develop, train, and test models to aid in predicting the susceptibility to and likelihood of developing PASC/Long COVID in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Long COVID, can affect anyone, including children, and it can develop in people who had asymptomatic, mild, or severe COVID-19. To complement the National Institutes of Health (NIH) […]

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 […]
