The computational microscope provided by the Resource's software programs,
NAMD and VMD,
has enabled hundreds of thousands of researchers worldwide
to make discoveries in molecular sciences.
While there is no simple metric to capture all the research
enabled by the Resource,
publications that have cited the Resource's software offer a solid measure
for the impact of the computational microscope.
Counting only the flagship programs VMD and NAMD,
the Resource continues to receive a staggering and increasing
number of citations every year,
arguing strongly for its high impact and substantial economies of scale.
Development and maintenance of these programs are supported by the NIGMS.
The Future of Biomolecular Modeling
A 2015 TCBG Symposium brought together scientists from across the Midwest to brainstorm about what's on the horizon for computational modeling. See a summary of what these experts foresee.
