About the Artist

Bio: Hyun Joo Lee (hyunjoo.lee@utoronto.ca)

A biomedical communicator/artist A graduate student of Biomedical Communications at the University of Toronto (an interdisciplinary grad program in medical illustration that bridges the disciplines of art, science, medicine and communication.) http://www.bmc.med.utoronto.ca/bmc/

Hyun Joo Lee is currently working with Prof. Molly Shoichet for master's project "A 3D Animation Linking the Mechanism of Axon Guidance to the Tissue-Engineered Scaffold System for the Treatment of SCI". We expect this visualization project will education and inspire scientists and students in the field of tissue engineering and neuroscience.
