Join us as we hear from biomedical animator Drew Berry, from Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, who will demonstrate the wonders of digital technology in bringing to life the fascinating biological science within our own bodies.
OVERVIEW
Energising the living fabric of your body
Drew Berry will present the molecular mechanisms that power our cells and tissues, converting food and air into the flow of chemical energy that gives our bodies life. Exploiting the incredible advances in video game technology, vast molecular landscapes can be generated upon a foundation of scientific research. Enabling the interactive exploration of dynamic molecular biology in ultra-high resolution detail, accessible and illuminating science education can now be provided via 3D augmented reality on mobile phones.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dr Drew Berry (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research)
Drew Berry is a biomedical animator who creates beautiful, accurate visualisations of the dramatic cellular and molecular action that occurs inside our bodies. He began his career as a cell biologist and is fluent navigating technical reports, research data and models from scientific journals. As an artist he works as a translator, transforming abstract and complicated scientific concepts into vivid and meaningful visual journeys.
Since 1995, Drew has been a biomedical animator at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne. His animations have exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, the Royal Institute of Great Britain and the University of Geneva.
