Tools

Free, open-source software built for science — many run entirely in your browser

Small, focused tools that make computational biology and drug-discovery workflows easier and more accessible. They are free to use; several run completely client-side (no data leaves your browser), and the source is on GitHub.

Use in your browser

pathsim

Interactive simulator of canonical cell-signaling models — the MAPK/ERK cascade with negative-feedback oscillations, and zero-order ultrasensitivity. Tune parameters and a drug dose and the kinetics update live. Runs entirely in the browser.

JavaScript · ODE modeling · Systems biology

DrugInteract

Educational drug-interaction reference that checks what each drug's FDA label says about another. Fully client-side — no backend, no data collection.

JavaScript · openFDA · RxNorm

enrichlite

Gene-set over-representation analysis (ORA) for human and mouse that runs entirely in the browser. Supports GO, Hallmark, and Reactome gene sets.

JavaScript · GO · Reactome · Hallmark

drugtargets

Drug-target exploration and repurposing-hypothesis tool: Boolean gene queries, drug-to-targets lookup, and target-overlap similarity, built on Open Targets and openFDA.

TypeScript · Open Targets · openFDA

neokine

Client-side pose visualization — draws a MediaPipe skeleton and plots simple kinematics (joint angles, velocity, asymmetry) over an image, video, or webcam. Runs entirely in the browser; not a diagnostic tool.

JavaScript · MediaPipe · Kinematics

neokine-labs Experimental

A playground in the neokine family: live MediaPipe Holistic pose and face tracking with real-time overlays and exploratory behavior heuristics. In-browser and experimental; not a diagnostic tool.

Platforms

MyVivarium

Open-source, cloud-based platform for managing research animal colonies, with QR-code cage cards and real-time IoT environmental monitoring. Published in CSBJ (2025); deployed at 3 partner labs supporting 200+ animals.

PHP · MySQL · IoT

MyVivarium v2 In development

Next-generation redesign of MyVivarium, shaped by real-world feedback from partner labs — rebuilt workflows, modernized stack, and expanded experimental, husbandry, and operational support. Preview build available.
