Important information about Beta:

The beta version is a pre-release of the Virtual Cell software. You may choose to use the beta version for new functions that are not yet available in the release version. We ensure that all models from previous versions of VCell will run in Beta. However, once a model is saved and run in Beta, you may not be able to re-run the model in Release. If you choose to use Beta version, please send your comments and findings to vcell@uchc.edu

VCell Software

The Virtual Cell is a software modeling environment for quantitative cell biological research. Users can create simple or complex multi-layered models with a Java web-based interface. Distinct biological and mathematical frameworks exist within a single graphical interface designed for experimental cell biologists or theoretical biophysicists. New users are required to register when they first run the Virtual Cell Software.

The Virtual Cell, a project of NRCAM, is developed by the Center for Cell Analysis & Modeling (CCAM)
