Producing digital art, animation and interactive quizzes explaining the research work of scientists from Watt Lab for The Royal Society's flagship event, the Summer Science Exhibition. The event is an opportunity for Fellows of the Royal Society to showcase their latest research and breakthroughs demonstrating the scientific principles behind their work with hands-on interactives and talks to members of the public.
WattLab
Web Production & Digital design for the WattLab, led by Professor Fiona Watt FRS, Director of the EMBO. Watt Lab is interested in how the differentiated state of adult tissues is maintained. Their research examines self-renewal and lineage selection by human and mouse epidermal stem cells; the role of stem cells in epidermal and oral tumour formation; and the assembly and function of the epidermal cornified envelope.
EU H2020 FET-Open Pan3DP Consortium
Scientific visual design & content production communicating the multidisciplinary research of experts in developmental biology, computational biology, organ modelling and tissue engineering, from both academia and industry. The Consortium's pioneering work contributed to the emerging field of regenerative medicine by developing the first 3D bioprinting set-up to fabricate pancreatic tissue.
Wellcome & KCL Advanced Therapies for Regenerative Medicine PhD Programme
Recruitment website for the Wellcome Trust & King's PhD Programme targeting researchers in cell transplantation, gene therapy and endogenous tissue repair. The Wellcome Trust & King's ’Advanced Therapies for Regenerative Medicine’ PhD Programme is designed to train a new generation of researchers in the therapies underpinning regenerative medicine.
A discussion of how to slow the rate of attrition of women from scientific careers takes place at an institutional level. This online exhibition showcases the collaboration between photographer Fanny Beckman and the Centre for Gene Therapy & Regenerative Medicine as as they lend their voices and faces to the discussion.
Athena SWAN Symposium
The Athena SWAN Symposium is an event focused on promoting gender equality in higher education and research. The Athena SWAN (Scientific Women's Academic Network) is an equality charter mark framework and accreditation that recognises and celebrates good practices in higher education and research institutions towards the advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success.
Francis Crick Institute PhD Programme
The Francis Crick Institute is one of Europe's biggest biomedical labs and home to 1,500 scientists working to understand health, disease and how life works. Their PhD Programme is designed to attract the brightest scientific minds in biomedical research.
Scientific Visualisation
Producing scientific art and visualisations for research groups in Developmental Biology, Computational Biology, Organ Modelling, Tissue Engineering and Nanomedicine.
Cancer Research with Dr Priyanka Bhosale
Dr Priyanka Bhosale is a researcher studying oral cancer, and whether a specific gene affects how tumours develop. Her research focuses on the squamous epithelium and the basement membrane of the epithelium (the wavey looking structure), and how tumours develop in this area.
Islet Transplantation with Ella Hubber
The UK has the 5th highest incidences of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the world, with 24.5 cases per 100,000 individuals. Ella’s research focuses on using a type of adult stem cell called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), to help support and improve islet function and survival.
Skin with Dr Clarisse Ganier
Dr Clarisse Ganier is a Centre for Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine (CSCRM) researcher studying the cells and structure of human skin. One of her areas of interest is the skin vasculature (the blood vessels that supply the skin) using a technology called optical coherence tomography.
