What is MicroART?
MicroART is a unique microscopy image competition and exhibition where science and art collide in the most captivating way.
At Peter Mac, about 750 clinical and laboratory researchers dedicate themselves to finding better treatments and potential cures for cancer. Using powerful microscopes and vibrant stains, they create breathtaking images that look like works of art.
But these images are not just pretty pictures; they are vital in identifying structures within cells, advancing crucial cancer research.
A Celebration of Science and Beauty
The primary aim of MicroART is to showcase the stunning beauty of these microscopy images while educating people about the science behind them.
It’s an opportunity for everyone to appreciate the seamless blend of art and scientific inquiry.
The exhibition will be open to the public at Peter Mac’s Melbourne campus, Level 7 Atrium, 305 Grattan Street, starting from August 12th.
This unique opportunity offers you an immersive experience where you can admire artistry and gain valuable insights into groundbreaking cancer research.
