Illuminare
Carlos G. Perez-Garcia, Scientist
Humberto Buisan, Designer
Study focused on the autism-related gene MDGA1 which plays a key role in the generation of the neuronal layers that form the neocortex, the center of sensory perception, motor control and cognition in mammals. The deletion of MDGA1 from these progenitors leads to defects in their division, causing the generation of abnormal populations of cells.

Nuclear Warrior
Bettina Lehman, Scientist
Lauren Jackson, Designer
Salk research investigates how a 3D architectural protein reacts to environmental stress and impacts the organization of our genome; ultimately dictating a physiological or diseased state in our cells. Super resolution microscopy imaging allows us to visualize how stress is affecting us down to the cellular and molecular level.
