My contributions involved a poster and two handouts. The microscope poster was designed for middle school students especially affected by COVID-19. Both the handouts are related to a brain activity for the same middle schoolers.

Mutations in the genome of A. baumannii, where ISAba11 is inserted upstream of ispB and reduces ispB;s expression, increases A. baumannii's cell size and antimicrobial resistance, making it more harmful. This is shown in that the bacteria are a deeper red as they become more virulent. As this transitions across the graphic, gene insertion and asymmetrical membrane restoration are depicted.

This is a small acrylic painting that depicts the A. baumannii bacteria, the central topic of my other pieces for the Skaar lab.

The piece depicts the Skaar lab's research paper "Dietary zinc deficiency compromises immunity to Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia," intended to determine therapeutic targets to fight bacterial infection, specifically A. baumannii, a cause of pneumonia.

A diagram identifying the layers of the fetal membrane and how they come into contact with the maternal blood and decidua.

This artwork captures the concepts of intestinal organoid systems and high throughput screening. The Shalek Lab at MIT uses intestinal organoids and high throughput screening to investigate how the addition of different compounds to a simulated intestinal environment influences the differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISC's) into Paneth cells. In this artwork, the intestines are drawn as a conveyor belt, with organoid dishes sitting atop. In each dish, a different compound is added (represented by the different colors), and the differentiation of ISC's into Paneth cells is shown by graphical data (seen in the foreground next to some more up-close organoid dishes).

This piece is a representation of a mouse, which is the animal that the lab works with. I detailed the stomach and microbiota of the mouse in a rainbow to show the area that the lab specifically studies. I used watercolor for the background and markers for the inside of the mouse to create sharp lines. I used pen to detail the mouse to contrast with the watercolor.

This is the logo I designed for my lab. It contains intestinal epithelial cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes, which the lab studies.

This painting is of osteopontin, a protein present in milk. The lab examines this protein in mice. I used watercolors for this piece and then went in with pen to define the details more.

The image represents the HIV-HCV co-infection by portraying HIV (blue viruses) and HCV (red viruses) entering the cityscape. The stone figures and monuments signify places where the co-infections are prevalent and the countries' effort to prevent infection. Countries were selected based on literature searches that contained graphical representation of areas that are highly impacted.
