Art of Science

Explore the beauty of medical research at Art of Science.

Art of Science is a showcase of 20 finalists from the Institute’s annual competition, at The Atrium, Fed Square. The stunning images and videos featured in this free annual exhibition have been captured by our researchers who are tackling some of the biggest health challenges facing humanity including cancer, infectious diseases and healthy ageing.

Attendees get a ‘backstage pass’ into the laboratory as they are taken on a visual journey of biomedical exploration and discovery, made possible by the Institute’s state-of-the-art imaging facilities.

The images offer unique aesthetic appeal as well as an opportunity to explore the intellectual capital that underpins the Institute’s position as the top-ranked Australian medical research institute (Nature Index, 2019).
