Scientific Illustration
Journal cover design, figure design
The Ken Poss Lab at Duke University aims to understand the mechanisms underlying vertebrate tissue regeneration, focusing on zebrafish.
I collaborated with numerous members of the Poss Lab to generate scientific illustrations for presentations, research papers, and journal cover submissions.
My zebrafish anatomy blueprint design was featured on the cover of the academic research journal, Developmental Cell.
