Biorender is a web-based tool designed for life-science and medical illustration, is like a feature-lite version of Illustrator. It features an extensive library of scalable ‘icons’ from across the life sciences and medicine; researchers can drop these onto a canvas and manipulate them as if they were circles or polygons. Biorender is mainly utilized by researchers for professional-level illustrated explainers of proposed models, experimental methods or biochemical pathways (see Jeffrey M Perkel, Nature 582:137, 2020). BioRender is free with limitations for educational use. Registration required.
