National Resource for Network Biology

We are developing a freely available, open source suite of software technologies to enable network-based visualization, analysis, and biomedical discovery. Cytoscape is the flagship tool supported by NRNB. We are driving technical research and development projects, coordinating training opportunities, and actively seeking new collaborations to develop NRNB tools and apply them to biomedical research.


How to Collaborate with NRNB

As a researcher, we can collaborate on adapting NRNB tools for use in your unique projects. If you are already using our supported tools in novel and important research, then we should be collaborating.

As a database provider, we can establish pipelines from your databases and data warehouses to make your data more accessible and more useful. There are many opportunities to interface with NRNB tools.

As a software developer, you can join any of our development communities. All NRNB software is open source. Follow the links from the Tools page to each development community. If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, consider our Google Summer of Code program.



The National Resource for Network Biology is an NIH Division of Biomedical Technology, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology (BBCB) Biomedical Technology Research Center (BTRC). NRNB is funded by grant GM103504.
