Description

This work is a collection of virtual laboratory exercises, fully interactive, created for the diffusion of biomedical know-how, with 3D modeled lab equipment covering different modern biological topics.

The Virtual Lab Series begins to address the need to educate the public at large about the rapidly emerging fields of bioinformatics, genomics, and applied Internet-based research.

Jury's Motivations

For the sophisticated human-computer interface for the simulation of laboratories for the medical student community and outsiders who, either for didactic or personal reasons, or for simple intellectual curiosity, can approach this scientific discipline and the technological object of the presentation.
