Network Builder
The blood vasculature (blue) forms an intricate network deep into the brain tissue, while surrounding mural cells (yellow) help in the maintenance of vascular architecture. The picture was taken using a super resolution microscope and it spans across a region of around 100 micrometers.
Andrea's work revolves around neuroscience and brain development, with a specific interest in the zebrafish model.
Since the first steps into science, imaging has been a huge part of his research. Andrea uses a combination of super resolution and confocal microscopes to capture images of microscopic animals and turn them in centrepieces of art compositions.
The main goal of Andrea is to highlight the beauty of microscopic world, and to bring scientific imaging closer to the general public.
His works have been awarded prizes in scientific imaging competitions.
