Series of illustrations created for a new video case series, NEJM Double Takes. This video highlights the effects of climate change on health through an illustrative patient case. Viewers are guided through the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, laboratory studies, and treatment, culminating in the final diagnosis.
This video is one in a series of educational videos produced for a bio-nutrient company that focuses on sustainable plant nutrition. It introduces the basics of soil health, and is used to highlight key mechanistic advantages of the company’s products and formulations in the areas of soil chemistry, soil biology, and plant physiology. The video is utilized in an educational lecture/presentational setting for sales representatives, customers, and distributors.
An illustration accompanying an in-depth review article published in ACS Central Science. The article examines how tumorigenesis affects blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, and how nanomaterial properties affect uptake and retention in brain tissue, with the goal of creating more patient-specific, predictive treatment approaches.
This illustration demonstrates a progression of changes in the tumor microenvironment of a mouse model in the study. Shown are relative degree of BBB breakdown, large and small nanoparticle permeability across the BBB, and tumor-associated vascularization during early, middle, and late stages of tumor development.
An image created for a JAMA Patient Page on hemolytic uremic syndrome and the risks of exposure to E. coli.
An image created for the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) depicting the movement of the West Nile virus through its vector: a female Culex sp. mosquito.
An image created for a JAMA Patient Page on head lice and removing louse eggs, also known as nits.
Illustration series for Redox Bio-Nutrients, a company that focuses on sustainable plant nutrition.
We helped to establish a brand-specific appearance to explain the basics of plant biology and soil dynamics, and to highlight key mechanistic advantages of Redox plant nutrition products and formulations that boost plant growth, quality, and yield.
An image accompanying an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine depicting how ‘slug slime’ produced by the Dusky slug Arion subfuscus has inspired a synthetic hydrogel tape, that could have numerous future clinical applications, including surgery and wound healing. The biologically-based and bio-compatible material utilizes bridging polymers to allow a stretchable, tough patch to bind easily to wet tissue.
This illustration accompanies an article published in ACS Nano. It features many issues at the interface between “bio-nano” science (research into the properties and processes of nanoscale phenomena in biological and biology-inspired structures) and cancer nanomedicine (research into the application of nanoscale materials and nanotechnology for the prevention and treatment of diseases).
The illustration serves as an overview of the key influential forces in nanomaterial engineering, current oncology research—and, to highlight ways to improve the next-generation of nanomedicines—also draws focus to existing controversies, and emerging concepts and opportunities for tumor targeting and clinical impact.
