Hermina Nedelescu

Neuro Scientist Artist

Hermina's artwork depicts the intricate structure and beauty of the brain at the neuronal level visible only with a microscope. Aided by MBF Bioscience's microscope-neuron mapping software, her digital drawings of neurons makes what is invisible to the naked eye visible.      

Hermina is a staff scientist in the Department of Neuroscience at Scripps Research and a neuro artist on weekends.
