Title: CellROX staining of NAC-treated granulomas infected with M. tuberculosis
2025-2026 MicroWorld Image Contest
An immunofluorescent image of a mouse uterus, where SIRT1 protein is stained yellow, and cell nuclei are in magenta with DAPI. The central uterine gland is shaped like the Eye of Horus (Wedjat)...

Title: Arm-oured
An E. coli swarm population expressing redox-sensitive GFP; E. coli swarms generally don't have tentacles, but this lab-evolved mutant does!
2025-2026 MicroWorld Image Contest
Title: Accidental Microbiology
E. coli swarm cells expressing a redox-sensitive GFP, naturally (not intentionally) arranged into a pattern that resembles the letter M for microbiology.

Title: Form in Series
This artwork is inspired by my fascination with embryonic development. In just 20 days, a mouse transforms from a single cell into a near-term embryo ready for life outside the womb. Using graphite and charcoal...
...I depicted embryonic mouse stages E8.5 through E19.5 as they might appear under bright-field microscopy. Each stage is drawn to scale relative to the next, highlighting the rapid progression of growth and increasing anatomical complexity...

Title: CAS Galaxy
Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonies growing on chrome azurol S (CAS) agar. The colonies produce siderophores that chelate ferric iron from CAS, causing a chromic shift (blue to orange) and appearing like stars in a galaxy...

Title: Microbiome drives hematopoiesis
Microbiome derived metabolites can translocate epithelia barrier and can enter into the blood circulation. These metabolites activate type intracellular and extracellular receptor on target cells...
