Translating complex biomedical and nanoscience research into clear, publication-ready visuals for journals, grants, and scientific communication.
Controlled Synthesis of Gold–Silver Nanostars
CONTEXT
Bimetallic nanostar formation through controlled reduction of Au and Ag ions, resulting in a core–shell structure and AgCl surface layer.
COMMUNICATION GOAL
To simplify a multi-step nanoscale synthesis process into a clear visual mechanism showing formation and morphology control.
MY ROLE
Scientific illustration, visual concept development, journal cover design.
OUTCOME
Published cover artwork in Small.
ENT-1–Targeted Polymersomes for Methotrexate Delivery in Choriocarcinoma
CONTEXT
Targeted nanoparticle system designed to improve methotrexate delivery in gestational choriocarcinoma by enhancing tumor-specific uptake and intracellular drug release.
COMMUNICATION GOAL
To simplify nanoparticle targeting, cellular uptake, and drug release mechanisms into a clear visual pathway.
MY ROLE
Scientific illustration and graphical abstract design.
OUTCOME
Published graphical abstract in Small Science.
Grant Proposal Visual Communication
Contributed scientific visuals supporting NIH-funded pancreatic cancer research initiatives, helping communicate complex therapeutic strategies, translational research goals, and multidisciplinary collaborations.
Lipid Nanoparticle Therapy for Simultaneous Treatment of Lung Cancer and Cachexia
CONTEXT
