Misconceptions Regarding Antibiotic Resistance (Master's Research Project)
Antibiotic resistance
Two-pages spread explaining the molecular events underlying the mechanism of action of the antibiotic vancomycin, and the bacterial resistance mechanism.
Mock cover: Sugar Turns Bacteria Swe
A mock cover for the journal Cell. The study is about how sugar levels in the gut influence pathogenicity of bacteria. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2018.08.053
CN III, IV and VI, the extraocular m
CN III, IV and VI, the extraocular muscles, and contents of the boney orbit
Anatomical illustration of the extraocular muscles that are responsible for eye movements, their innervation and action.
Oxygen and Biological Clocks
A cover suggestion for the journal Cell Metabolism. Illustrating the connection between oxygen levels and circadian clocks. Link to the original article:

Obedience
Short animation explaining the concept of obedience, with two case studies of experiments performed in order to investigate it in humans. To be used as a teaching aid in the course “PSYCH 1X03: Introduction to Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour”, McMaster University, Hamilton
Overview of cell secretory pathway
Scene sketch for a short animation movie explaining the cellular secretory pathway from the creation of a proteins to their secretion. A Overview of the cell and selected organelles. B Closer view on the Golgi apparatus. C Closer view on the ER. D View of a mRNA molecule exit through a nuclear pore. E View of mRNA molecule being translated by a ribosome, to the production of polypeptides, that will be secreted through the translocon, into the ER lumen. F ER vesicles with proteins, on their journ
Case of Davis et. al. v. Otis et. al
Co-design project. The three panels summarizing the evidence regarding a medical malpractice case, to be used by an expert witness (appointed by the defense) in the courtroom.
Panel A: Relevant Heart Anatomy, Panel B: Patient Heart Surgery and Blood Flow, and Panel C: Conceptualization of Events and Patient Complications.

Anterior and lateral view of the muscles of the thigh
Neglected Tropical Diseases
Data visualization of the changes in prevalence of 15 neglected tropical diseases between 1990 and 2016. Data was extracted from the Global Burden of Disease 2016 report. Publication data was extracted using Pubmed search of the specific terms.

Lumbar Spine Flexion-Relaxation
Lumbar Spine Flexion-Relaxation Phenomenon
Two-pages spread explaining the lumber spine flexion-relaxation phenomenon. Briefly, when the lumbar spine is flexed, the low back extensor muscles become relaxed, leading to higher load on the connective tissues of the spine.
T10 to L3 spinal fusion: Correction
T10 to L3 spinal fusion: Correction of a scoliotic spine through an indirect derotation maneuver Steps in scoliosis correction surgery (illustration of the entire procedure was divided between the collaborators).
Median section of head and neck
Median section of head and neck
Median section of head and neck showing the main structures.
Thoracic girdle and humerus
Data was extracted from OsiriX DICOM Image Library (MELANIX), then was sculpted in Zbrush and rendered in Cinema 4D, to add bone realistic details and cartilage.
Magnification
A conceptual illustration, demonstrating the concept of magnification using refraction of light by water.
Bowline knot
Description: Demonstration of how to tie a bowline knot.
