Event Description
- Full Description:
- Nanoparticle drug delivery systems provide the promise of new forms of targeted cancer treatment. These are still at the pre-clinical stage, with scientists trying to determine how successful these drugs are at targeting tumour structures. Biomedical imaging modalities such as fluorescence microscopy and serial block-face scanning electron microscopy allow research teams to see deep into tissue to track these nanoparticles. The level of detail acquired by these modalities also now allow 3D designers and computer animators to construct high quality 3D computer generated visualisations and Virtual Reality (VR) data driven experiences. In this presentation I discuss design methods, challenges and outcomes of building 3D biomedical visualisation. I also unpack how immersive interactive VR content can improve the way we teach our students and represent 3D data for public engagement.
Special Guest Speaker: Associate Professor John McGhee, UNSW
Associate Professor John McGhee is the Director of the award winning 3D Visualisation Aesthetics Lab at UNSW. John’s academic research work explores arts-led and design-led modes of visualising complex 3D scientific and biomedical data. His research investigates the application of creative practice, technical innovation and immersive VR platforms to new data visualisation challenges. Areas of research include virtual world design, scientific discovery through 3D visualisation, education and engagement, biomedical communication and clinical interaction. This has culminated in John being recognised as one of UNSW Australia’s 21 Rising Stars in research leadership and UNSW Scientia research Fellow.
