I made this drawing to illustrate Sriram Sundaramoorthy's research, who presented the illustration at the ASCB Meeting 2016 in San Francisco. Sriram explains the story behind the drawing: "My research involves studying cell division…
My scientific illustrations were featured on Genes to Genomes, a blog from the Genetics Society of America. Their GSA-Art series creates a wonderful space for sharing the creative works of scientists, and…
You can read about the stories behind my scientific illustrations on The Node. I am so excited for my artwork to be featured in a scientific blog! "I want to…
A class of small regulatory RNAs, termed piRNAs, protect the genome from invading DNA sequences. These piRNAs are generated by two pathways that act in parallel, like a piece of…
I made this drawing for the cover of the EMBO Journal to accompany our new paper on mammalian brain development. The paper shows that a microRNA family is required for…
I began making scientific illustrations when I realized that showing a drawing as part of my scientific presentations sparked interest and tended to stay in people's memories. This picture was…
Before DNA is segregated during cell division, chromosomes are held near the center of the cell by the mitotic spindle, which connects to the chromosomes by a structure called kinetochores.…
Oh no! An unsuccessful experiment can bring up very intense emotions, which every scientist is certainly familiar with! An unsuccessful experiment can bring up very intense emotions, which every scientist…
