These were the first 3D molecule structures that I printed in 2014, after recieving my brand new Form-1 printer! They are made from molecular data files, converted into meshes and then into physical objects. Show below, a bacteriophage, ATP synthase, carbon nanotube, and nucleosomes. After producing many of these tapestries […]

I worked the National Institutes of Health from Early 2015 to Late 2017. My specific department was in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biosciences Branch, Office of Cyber Infrastructure, National Institute of Allergens and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Our office worked for the director of NIAID, Anthony Fauci, and the group I […]

This publication describes the details of different molecular visualization methods, and contrasts the advantages and disadvantages of virtual reality to other methods. The major advantages of VR being immersive field of view, depth perception, and a spatial manipulation interface. This article was published in collaboration with the UCSF Chimera Team […]

This publication details methods for producing 3D printed molecular models from molecular databank files and volumetric microscopy datasets. It was completed with collaborators while I worked at the NIH, and published as an animated article in the Journal of Visualized Experiments. The article includes an extensive overview of visualization and […]

My primary work at the NIH was developing and operating a visualization service for NIAID molecular biologists. Much of my work was for researchers at the NIAID Vaccine Research Centre (VRC). Here, crystallographers and biologists work to uncover the structure of viral spike proteins, to better develop vaccine candidates and […]
