Artist and Researcher Exhibit 7
An exhibition of creative collaboration between USC researchers and Los Angeles-based artists.
The academic research institution can lead the way in democratizing the conversation around breakthrough medical research and present it in a way that captures the public imagination—an urgent need in our complex world. This special exhibition depicts the conceptual language of science and the human impact of research in the popular context through the interpretive lens of art.
For the 7th year in a row, connecting USC medical researchers with students from the USC Roski School of Art and Design, Keck School of Medicine of USC’s HEAL Program is proud to present the work of the following researchers and artists:
