Schematic Illustrations

As a scientist, published work is my bread and butter. Unsurprisingly, creating art for this type of content is my sweet spot. Check out some of my published illustrations below!

Adoptive cell transfer in ovarian cancer review

I created three illustrations for the review article shown at right below (click for open-access version). For this project, I was given a working manuscript by the authors. The first two figures were borne organically from my own consolidation of concepts in the text. The third was developed more closely with the authors, who had a clear concept of how to visualize the future of ACT in OC.

Figure 1. Schematic representation of autologous T cell generation, expansion, and patient infusion.
Figure 2. Cellular mechanisms governing T cell suppression in the tumor microenvironment, and examples of strategies circumvent it.
Figure 3. A model for integrating real-world experience and experimental data to inform new approaches for ACT.
Open access to the publication.

Brain Tumor Textbook chapter

I was recently asked to contribute a chapter for the third edition of the Handbook of Brain Tumor Chemotherapy, Molecular Therapeutics, and Immunotherapy (Elsevier). In addition to writing the chapter on cell cycle regulation, I developed four figures to accompany it. These schematics outline some of the basic molecular features of the cell cycle.

Figure for glioblastoma research article

Our group recently published findings on genetic and transcriptomic characteristics of pre-treatment patient tumors which correlate with clinical outcome following SurVaxM treatment. If that sounds complex, it is! To clarify what was done in our study and what it suggests, I created a schematic figure for inclusion in the paper.
