A new exhibit of eye-catching scientific images graces the halls of NIEHS, thanks to the creativity of institute trainees. Fourteen fellows developed nearly two dozen works of art as part of the NIEHS Fellows Scientific Image Competition. The images range from close-up photos of treated cells to model organisms and high-resolution heat maps, reflecting the broad scope of research conducted by fellows across different institute branches.

The competition, which occurs every few years, was initiated by Scientific Director Darryl Zeldin, M.D., and led by NIEHS Trainees Assembly co-chairs Gulberk Ozcebe, Ph.D., and Osafu Egbon, Ph.D.

“We are excited to showcase the work of our trainees using visual media, which reminds us there is art in science and the important research we’re all engaged in at NIEHS,” Zeldin said.
