Update (06/23/2026): MFA Suite has new updates for: INCA, ETA and PIRAMID.   

The MFA Suite™ (Metabolic Flux Analysis Suite) is a software toolkit providing a powerful approach for quantifying the rates, or “fluxes”, of intracellular metabolic pathways.  The information generated from the MFA Suite of tools is useful for identifying pathway bottlenecks, elucidating network regulation, and quantifying the flow or fate of carbon within a biological system. By systematically accounting for all extracellular carbon inputs and outputs and all major intracellular pathways, MFA can be used to reconstruct comprehensive flux maps depicting cell metabolism.

The ARMS-D is a brief, easily administered, and validated patient survey to assess adherence to diabetes medications. It can detect non-adherence and specific reasons for non-adherence. Given the magnitude of the problem of non-adherence to diabetes medications, this instrument has application in research (observational and clinical trials) and clinical practice.

The Parent Stress Intervention Program (PSIP) was developed by staff and faculty at the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, were used in the multi-year Parent/Child Stress Intervention Project piloted by Elisabeth Dykens, Ph.D., in 2010-2013.

Vanderbilt University’s Center for Global Democracy (CGD) is a premier social science institute dedicated to advancing the understanding of how democracies emerge, function, and evolve. Through research grounded in the highest standards of scientific rigor, CGD examines how mass publics perceive, experience, and support democratic governance, while also generating insights that inform policy innovation to strengthen democracy worldwide.

The Molecular Image Fusion system is a software framework that can predict ion distributions in tissue. It accomplishes this by fusing data from two distinct technologies: imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) and microscopy. IMS-generated molecular maps, rich in chemical information but having coarse spatial resolution, are combined with optical microscopy maps, which have relatively low chemical specificity but high spatial information.

TagDock is an efficient rigid body molecular docking algorithm that generates three-dimensional models of oligomeric biomolecular complexes in instances where there is limited experimental restraint data to guide the docking calculations. Through “distance difference analysis” TagDock additionally recommends followup experiments to further discriminate  divergent (score-degenerate) clusters of TagDock’s initial solution models.

BCL::Commons™ (also known as the BioChemistry Library Project) is an object oriented C++ programming library. The library is designed to simulate biological molecules – proteins and peptides in particular – as well as small chemicals such as therapeutics. It comprises mathematical methods to evaluate the energy of these molecules in their natural environment.

ProcoderDV™ (Procoder for Digital Video) was developed at Vanderbilt University's Kennedy Center to facilitate data collection from digital media in a variety of research projects. ProcoderDV™ catalogs and facilitates the retrieval and replay of specific events that are captured in digital video or audio files.

ReconFTI is a software that reconstructs functional tensor images from conventional functional magnetic resonance images. Reconstructed functional tensor images can be used to delineate functional pathways in the human brain. These functional pathways may help neuroscientists understand how different cortical regions of the human brain interact with each other.
