mTORC
lllustration
for Sabatini Lab at the MIT for 2 publications
in Science magazine. The scientists have
successfully determined the structure of two
protein complexes mTORC1 and Human
FLCN-FNIP2-Rag-Ragulator Complex shown here
attached to the surface of a lysosome. This work
is very important in cancer research with the
aim to create drugs that can stop cancer from
growing.

Defying Limits
Commissioned by Pentagram for HHMI Bulletin
Magazine to create conceptual illustrations based
on Nobel Laureate Eric Betzig's work on the
development of super-resolved fluorescence
microscopy. This microscopy technique provides a
highly detailed, three-dimensional, animated view
of the microscopic world revealing a
ground-breaking picture of complex cellular
processes and forms.

| The Powers of
Ten: Lymphocyte
Celebrating the landmark 1977
Eames film, Powers of Ten™, this animation was
part of the The Powers Project which invited 40
innovative artists from around the world to
produce original segments for each power of ten
using a variety of digital and film techniques.
This collaborative homage playfully transplants
the film’s journey from the physical universe to a
unique, imagined universe of graphic abstractions.
Funded by and screened at the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation.
In this segment, we see 10 to
the power of minus 5. We travel through a
capillary into a world of red and white blood
cells, to find a lone lymphocyte whose membrane we
penetrate to finally reach its porous nucleus.

Protein Order & Disorder
Illustration
for the launch of Quiroz Lab at Georgia Tech
Biomedical Engineering . The illustration
depicts various states of protein order and
disorder (idps, oligomers, collagen helixes,
peptide assemblies) to show the wide range of
research at the Lab that includes
self-assembling materials, protein engineering
tools and DNA sequencing with implications on
nanotechnology, biotechnology and medicine .
