Mathematical models in biology are powerful, but often hard to run, visualise, or reuse without specialist skills.
Menelmacar is a new platform that makes biological models interactive and easy to explore directly in the browser: biomodels.bacpop.org

Very happy to announce that my first first-author paper just got published in Bioinformatics! We developed the web-application Menelmacar that displays differential equation models from @biomodels.bsky.social in the browser - it's beautiful and interactive!

Powerful stuff from @juliosaezrod.bsky.social who found himself on the other end of the process - as a patient not a computational biology researcher - giving him insight into both research and patient perspectives. Huge credit to Julio for talking about his experiences here
