10 years ago, the Hyman Lab welcomed visual artist Prof. Lucy Orta into our scientific world.She took our research on cell division and brought it to life in a way we never expected—through her art.
What began as a simple conversation between science and creativity turned into something truly special: a collaboration that reimagined mitosis, one of life’s most fundamental (and magical) processes, from a completely new perspective.
Even a decade later, this project reminds us just how powerful art can be in telling scientific stories—and in helping them resonate far beyond the lab.
