Art and Design in Molecular Neuroimaging
Figures, graphs and charts are an essential part of scientific literature, but in very few occasions they are designed to convey complex messages with elegance and directness. For scientists, graphical illustrations are just a mean to an end, drawn to be useful or practical rather than attractive.
We strongly believe that graphical illustration plays an important role to scientific dissemination and we are currently hosting two collaborative programs with professionals to improve our way to communicate our research.
Dr. Gill Brown – a graphic designer at the centre of neuroimaging sciences
A collaboration between a group of neuroscientists, working in the Neuroimaging Department at King’s College London, and Dr. Gill Brown, a graphic design researcher at the University of the Arts London, based at the London College of Communication.

Federico Baratto – an artist borrowed to molecular neuroimaging
The collaboration with Federico started in 2013 and since then we been have developing many figures for scientific papers, book covers and illustrations. Here an overview of this work.

NeuroReceptor Mapping 2018
With Federico we developed the visual identify for the NRM 2018 meeting, an international conference on neuroreceptor systems and molecular imaging held in London in July 2018
