Organoids team is growing

Organoids team is growing

A small team of artists and scientists are expanding their collaborative research with support from the UGA Arts Collaborative. The “Organoids” project received a mini grant to develop prototypes and arts-integrative methods to create organoids, three-dimensional cellular structures which are developed from pluripotent stem cells. Project leaders Dr. Nadja Zeltner (Center for Molecular Medicine) and Martijn van Wagtendonk (Lamar Dodd School of Art) were inspired by the complexity of organoid models that grow in three dimensions and invite novel methods of representation. Organoid structures are of interest in seeking solutions for problems including adrenal gland insufficiency, understanding human embryonic development, and how hormone regulation impacts diseases such as PTSD. Now the team includes faculty and students in art, dance, molecular medicine, engineering, animal science, and cellular biology.

Centered around Land, (In)Visibility, and Care, these dances traverse dualities of freedom/control; sincerity/satire; tenderness/violence; beauty/monstrosity.
