VUMC has acquired a limited Institutional License for BioRender. This exciting tool allows users to create professional, high-quality graphics that can be used to enhance research manuscripts, presentations, websites, and more.
The VUMC license has up to 200 user seats for VUMC researchers (PIs, Staff Scientists, Postdocs, Grad Students, etc.) At this time we have open seats available for non-faculty members of VUMC. Faculty may join the waitlist using the REDCap form linked below and will be notified when a faculty user seat becomes available.
To request a user seat on the Institutional License please fill out the REDCap form. Note, this license is for researchers in VUMC labs only, VU employees are unfortunately not eligible at this time.
Note: Distribution of licenses may be limited. If your user seat is not accessed for a prolonged period of time, you may lose access to the institutional license.
