Energising the living fabric of your body: The molecular engines of Metabolism

Dr Drew Berry, WEHI

Speaker

Dr Drew Berry

The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research

I create biomedical animations that combine cinema and science to reveal the microscopic worlds inside our bodies.

My career began in cell biology and microscopy at The University of Melbourne. I have used this knowledge to bring a rigorous scientific approach to every topic, immersing myself in relevant research and current data to ensure the frontier of human discovery is authentically reconstructed.

Since 1995, I have worked as a biomedical animator at the institute. My animations have exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art, the Royal Institute of Great Britain and the University of Geneva.

Visit the WEHI.TV gallery to watch some of Drew’s animations.
