This year we finished a project for Simone Oostindie, and developed the layout of her PhD thesis entitled "Clustering: a rational design principle for potentiated antibody therapeutic". A book filled with hard-core science for which she graduated with honors! Recent publication of chapter 6 of her thesis in Nature Reviews (link to Simone's
Last May I had the pleasure to develop several exhibition materials for ISA Pharma, including a few banners and a 2.30m x 4m wall. My illustration was already used on the company's website but it is always great to see my art on a large canvas. The banners are currently displayed at the
Last February SCICOMVISUALS was asked to develop a 30-sec video for the IPO of Biophytis, to be displayed on the NASDAQ tower on Time Square, NY. The time given for production was three days, which included a weekend - quite a challenge. But since we would not often get the chance to have our
For this years annual meeting, Oncode organized an art competition, to give visibility to the beauty of science. I had the honor of being in the jury with Yuva Oz to vote for the best images produced by the Oncode community this year. And this has been quite a difficult task, with so many
I am thrilled to let you know that the "Spaghettified Antibody" is now exhibited in the main entrance hall at Genmab, Utrecht. After I developed the original computer model 2 years ago, Kunst & Licht & Glas in De Bilt worked very hard to capture the model in 60 glass plates. Several people
I am very proud to let you know that Maarten van der Sanden (science communication, TU Delft), Martijn van Overbruggen (WIM Ontwerpers), Dirma Janse (Studio Dirma Janse) and I have developed a master course for TU Delft, called SCIENCE VISION. This course is aimed at master students to help them understand the
Scicomvisuals developed a brand new website for Amphera. Amphera is a Dutch biotech company, and develops dendritic cell therapies for the treatment of cancer. Their lead indication is mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lungs. The company has several studies in clinical stage. Scicomvisuals was responsible for website design, and
Scicomvisuals is proud to have one of its infographics published as graphical abstract in Cell Reports (volume 23, issue 13, 2018). Hanke Matlung et al show that neutrophils can kill antibody-opsonized cancer cells by a process called trogoptosis. Scicomvisuals developed the graphical abstract and the infographic in Figure 7. This is the abstract
The Antibody Society organizes several scientific meetings, and hands out a prize to the best young presenter at its meeting. The prize to be won is a 3,5 kg glass structure of an antibody. SCICOMVISUALS and Geurt van Hierden helped with development and ordering of the glass structure - which in the final
In recent months, Scicomvisuals developed the visual presentation for Prof. dr. Timo van den Berg's inaugural speech. Timo will hold his chair on immunotherapy at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, at the department of molecular cell biology. Funny enough, this is where we both received our PhD's back in the '90s. While Timo was
