Together with Xin Gao and Ian Cockburn from the Australian National University, I had the privilege to visually bring to life their groundbreaking research: “B cells targeting parasites capture spatially linked antigens to secure T cell help».
The artwork is a reminder of how art and science together can illuminate the invisible battles shaping human health by highlighting a striking encounter:
– Plasmodium sporozoites in soft purple
– B cells glowing in vivid pink
This collaboration was not only scientifically inspiring but also deeply enjoyable. My heartfelt thanks to Xin Gao, Jiwon Lee, and Ian Cockburn, as well as to the editors of Science Immunology, for their trust in my artistry and vision.
