Dear reader,
This month has been been quite special for us as BioExcel celebrated it's 5 year anniversary! In the last five years, our team has improved the scaling of all core applications with some codes even ready for next-generation hardware that is still under development. We adopted open roadmaps for development and added a plethora of features as requested by the user community. And then COVID-19 struck. Within the early days of the pandemic, BioExcel restructured efforts to address the crisis.

Five years passed and we are not done yet. We will continue our mission to provide life sciences researchers with high-quality, user-friendly software, with the ultimate goal to benefit society.

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for being part of our journey and contributing to the growth of BioExcel for all. We hope you will continue to stay with us for more exciting things to come.
