Overview

Project Title: Dermatology – Collagen Fibres, Melanin Production and Neural Crest Cells

 

Project Sponsor: Dr Shona Ogilvie, Dermatology, School of Medicine

TILT Medical Artist: Eve Laws

Required for teaching in 2024, two of the three illustrations focused on the structural/cellular differences in caucasian, black and asian skin. An incredibly important part of our curriculum is representation and diversity and the medical artist always strives to include as much representation as possible, so this project was particularly important.
