The Dexheimer Lab
A Life Science Art Studio
MISSION
Translating Biology Into Art
Every project starts with your science. Like any good experiment, the approach depends entirely on the question. But here’s the general protocol.
Scientists know the feeling. That spark when a mechanism starts making sense. That quiet click when something falls into place. When a conundrum you’ve been contemplating for months finally adds up, and you’re suddenly looking at something genuinely beautiful. The strange, surprising elegance of Nature.
That’s what I want to put into art. I spent years as a geneticist studying RNA biology, embryonic development and protein folding during my PhD and postdoc. Now I’m a full-time artist working with everything I can get my hands on to turn it into Science Art.
WHAT I DO
Science Made Visible Across Every Medium
From journal covers to installations and large scale murals, from workshops to one-on-one coaching. Here’s what I offer.
Journal Covers
Your science on the front page
Every piece is unique and starts with the paper itself, the real biology, the actual structures.
Institute Artwork
From murals to Installations
Research institutes deserve more than stock art in the hallway.
Web Design
Your lab’s digital home
Because your lab deserves better than a 2009 WordPress theme that looks like it was made by a PhD-student in their spare time
Workshops
Skills your PhD skipped on
Practical, hands-on sessions in person & online built around problems researchers actually face.
1:1 Coaching
For the talk that matters
Every piece is unique and starts with the paper itself, the real biology, the actual structures.
HOW IT WORKS
From First Message To Finished Artwork
Every project starts with your science. Like any good experiment, the approach depends entirely on the question. But here’s the general protocol.
You reach out
Tell me about your science. A paper, a protein, a process you want to share with the world.
We find the concept
What's the story your research is telling? We figure out a unique visual concept together.
Sketching & iterating
Rough sketches, feedback rounds & refinements until the composition clicks.
I make the thing
Ink, pixels, resin, spraypaint, watercolor. 25 hours or 250, depending on paper or concrete.
Delivery & beyond
Publication-ready high quality files, prints, or a wall that'll outlast your tenure.
Tell me what you’re working on. We’ll take it from there.
WORKSHOPS
Expressing Your Science The Way It Deserves
STAY IN THE LOOP
Follow The Work
New projects, process shots & an occasional humble take on science communication.
