The National Resource for Network Biology (NRNB) is dedicated to advancing the field of Biological Networks through a suite of analytical tools, visualizations, databases, and computing resources. With a focus on the complexities of gene, protein, and drug interactions, as well as cellular communication, NRNB equips researchers with the ability to construct and analyze various biological networks crucial for understanding health and disease. Central to its offerings is the Cytoscape Cyberinfrastructure, a robust network analysis platform complemented by comprehensive tutorials, workshops, and continuous help desk support.

NRNB is at the forefront of developing open source software aimed at enhancing biomedical discovery through network-based visualizations and analyses. Noteworthy projects include the development of the NeXO ontology, which merges data from extensive gene and protein interactions, and innovative methods for stratifying cancer patient data through network propagation. Additionally, the Cytoscape App Store facilitates researchers in finding necessary applications while promoting developer contributions, making NRNB a vital resource for the biomedical research community
