Cells Within Cells
My new drawing illustrates bacteria inside cancer and immune cells! Our bodies are made up of more than just our cells. They are also home to a huge diversity of…
DNA Factory for a Division of Labor During DNA Replication
Each time our cells divide, they need to replicate their DNA to pass on their genetic material to the two daughter cells. To create identical copies of the DNA the…
This drawing depicts illustrates how two processes cooperate to create stem cells - represented by the dancer's choreography on her way to pluripotency. EMBO Journal cover, April 2020.
New EMBO Journal Cover – dancing towards pluripotency
This artwork illustrates how two processes cooperate to create stem cells - represented by the dancer's choreography on her way to pluripotency. Stem cells have been crucial for many discoveries in…
Artwork for VIZBI – a conference on Visualizing Biological Data
Presenting my new artwork for the 11th international meeting on Visualizing Biological Data at the USC Bridge Institute - a VIZBI 2020 'Hollywood' sign illuminated by dividing cells! I'm very…
New publication – communicating scientific concepts through art
I'm so excited to share my newest publication - this time not a research paper, but an article on 'Communicating scientific concepts through art" in the Journal of Visual Communication…
CRISPR Handcuffs: Anti-CRISPR protein AcrIIA6, shown as handcuffs, sequesters and inhibits two Cas9 molecules (red), while a naturally resistant variant (green) is able to cleave its target DNA.
Handcuffs for CRISPR – my new drawing for a Molecular Cell paper!
You may not see it, but an evolutionary battle is being waged all around us between bacteria and the viruses that target them. This drawing depicts an exciting new discovery…
