Fighting SARS-CoV-2 with education.

ViruSim will be a configurable simulation of a viral infection on a cellular level. The software is intended to be used inside the browser mainly for educational purposes (for example using it in online courses about viruses, immunology and viral infections). Therefore nice visuals will be a main part of this project. This project is open-source and non-profit. While the primary focus for this project will most probably be educational purposes further (scientific) applications might be possible in the future.

A live version of the software can be found at https://www.virusim.org.

To start development and run the project locally, run

npm install
npm start

Then open http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

A very good starting point is the following online course:

• Viruses & How to Beat Them: Cells, Immunity, Vaccines

The master branch is automatically deployed to https://www.virusim.org after passing the continuous integration on CirlceCI at https://circleci.com/gh/dominik1001/virusim.

• TypeScript
• Webpack
• Babylon.js

Currently we're looking for enthusiastic people who are willing to join this open-source and non-profit project. Concretely we're looking for:

• JavaScript/TypeScript developers ideally with a background in 2D/3D rendering
• Biologists/Immunologists/Virologists/MDs to guide the project and to input useful requirements and domain-specific knowledge ideally with an educational background
• 2D/3D Designers
