‘When Art Meets Science’ exhibition now open
On display until 31st August, the exhibition showcases jaw-dropping images captured by Centenary Institute researchers in the course of their ground-breaking medical research.
Images range from cancer cells reminiscent of icy fractals to jewel-like brain cells captured in a sparkling web, with the story behind each image also on display.
“We’re thrilled to present ‘When Art Meets Science’, an extraordinary exhibition showcasing the brilliant synergy between art and medical research,” says Professor Marc Pellegrini, the Centenary Institute’s Executive Director.
“Through captivating scientific images, we champion the beauty of science and celebrate the incredible advancements achieved by our dedicated researchers.”
All images in the exhibition are entries in the Centenary Institute’s annual Scientific Image Prize, and cover a wide range of research areas, from Alzheimer’s disease to genetic heart disease to COVID-19.
Visitors to the exhibition can vote for their favourite science image on display, with the winning entry to be awarded the People’s Choice Award in the Scientific Image Prize.
