3D Molecular Animation & Scientific Illustration

Services

Scientific illustration, journal cover art, graphical abstracts, and molecular animation.

Each project is tailored to your audience, publication goals, timeline, and budget.

Journal cover art

I develop concept art from scratch or refine your ideas into journal cover art that matches the story of your manuscript and the visual requirements of the publisher.

3D molecular animation

I work with you on storyboarding and visual development for molecular and cellular mechanisms, then produce a 3D animation that is scientifically accurate, visually clear, and presentation-ready.

Scientific illustration

Whether you need a manuscript figure, graphical abstract, editorial illustration, or presentation visual, I create 2D and 3D graphics tailored to your science and your audience.

About

Structural biology expertise combined with professional 3D animation training.

I studied biochemistry at the Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague, completed a PhD in structural biology at the University of Leeds, and continued with postdoctoral work in structural biology at PSI and ETH Zurich.

Following my passion for molecular visualization and science communication, I completed professional training in 3D animation and continue to expand my practice in graphics and design. I have more than ten years of experience working with clients from academia and industry around the world. I live and work in Zurich, Switzerland, and lead most projects myself while collaborating with other CG artists when scope or timelines require a larger team.

Selected work

A selection of scientific illustration and molecular animation projects created for clients in biological research, biotech, and science communication.

Cover art

Nature Nanotechnology cover

3D render of a cellular scene which shows a protein complex interacting with DNA, positioned in a cell nucleus. We see a cut through a nuclear membrane with a nuclear pore complex visible in upper left part of the image. The illustration demonstrates a process of DNA decompressing, which is the focus of the manuscript.

Editorial illustration

3D printed minifactories

3D illustration published at ETH Zurich News which demonstrates a process of 3D printing with living bacterial cultures, developped by a research group at ETH Zurich. Such 3D printing can be used for medical and industrial applications.

3D molecular animation

Molecular mechanism of a protein complex severing microtubules

A 3D animation movie showing a protein complex katanin severing assembling on a microtubule and breaking it apart by unfolding the tubulin subunits. This molecular process is a key mechanism in regulating the length of microtubules, which are essential for cell division and maintenance of the cytoskeleton.

3D cellular animation

Transport along microtubules in axoneme

A 3D animation movie showing the transport of a cargo along a microtubule in an axoneme, a cellular structure found in monocellular organisms such as chlamydomonas and in sperm cells. The animation demonstrates the process of transport of the cargo along the microtubule, which is essential for the maintanance of the axoneme structure.
