Description
The Scales of Life was a collaboration between artist Elaine Shemilt (Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, University of Dundee), Mike Ferguson, Regius professor of Life Sciences (University of Dundee) and Jo White of BMJ architects. Covering the façade of the new Discovery Centre for Translational Research, it aims to communicate key areas of Life Sciences research carried out within the building utilising printmaking techniques combined with digital visualisation and engineering in metal. The artwork depicts each of the four physical scales – Molecular, Organellar, Cellular and Tissue, which provide the basic understanding, and inform the treatment of many diseases.
