2026-06-05.  28th Annual On-site Workshop Computational Cell Biology took place at the Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling on June 1-3. Eight participants from different US universities (John Hopkins, Purdue, University of Tennessee and University of Connecticut) came for three days to learn VCell, COPASI and SpringSaLaD and develop projects under the guidance of our modelers.

2026-05-27. The new major VCell release (8.0) added SpringSaLaD (Michalski & Loew, 2016) as a fully supported VCell Applications. SpringSaLaD enables spatial, stochastic, particle-based simulation of reaction-diffusion systems, representing biomolecules as collections of linked spherical sites with explicit excluded-volume interactions in three-dimensional space — bridging detailed molecular-dynamics and cellular-level reaction-network modeling.

New VCell does not need admin privileges to install

2026-02-03. The new VCell release (7.7.0 build 47) does not need admin priviledges to install. To switch to a new version, a user still need admin priviledges to uninstall the previous version, but from now on, local users will be able to run VCell no asking fro help from sysadmin. If you have problems, manually remove VCell from your computer, and download a new one from https://vcell.org/run-vcell-software.
