Touch Research app allows you to explore how Sanford-Burnham tackles disease.

Sanford-Burnham scientists are studying factors that impact a variety of human diseases, including cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. In addition to Beaker, we now have two iPad apps to help you learn more and have fun with science:

Touch Research uses a 360-degree image of the body to illustrate how Sanford-Burnham tackles disease. For example, a link highlighted on the neck leads to information about spinal cord research.

CellExplorer challenges you to assess a group of images and guess whether they are cells or famous works of art. You may be surprised at some of the similarities.

On the day they debuted in the Apple App Store, Touch Research ranked #3 for medical apps and CellExplorer ranked #7. More apps are on the way.
