I collaborated with Dr. Mark Rasenick to make a dynamic illustration showing how the movement of G Proteins in the plasma membrane can serve as a biomarker for depression. This piece went on to win an Award of Merit at the Association of Medical Illustrators 2016 Conference in the marketing category and was featured as a cover for the Journal of Biological Chemistry in September 2016.

Shortly after we worked again to create a schematic to supplement Dr. Rasenick's commentary for the Journal of Biological Psychiatry, pioneered off of the original A Biomarker for Depression illustration. The main goals were to show primary cilium with a GPCR (5HT6R) and adenylyl cyclase in the primary cilia along with a membrane region showing a lipid raft (and non-raft) in the dendrites. Highly molecular pieces, such as these, often have a great amount of research and work best when the biomedical visualization specialist has consistent communication with their client.
