MRC PPU research featured in exhibition of contemporary art and science
Research undertaken by the laboratory of Miratul Muqit has featured in a two part exhibition of contemporary art, artefacts and scientific research.
The Hearts & Minds exhibition opened on the 18th September and has run for a month at the LifeSpace gallery in Dundee. The exhibition showcases research at the University of Dundee to better understand changes in the brain during neurodegeneration.
In 2014 Miratul envisaged bringing to the public an event that highlighted the intricacies of the brain with a focus on neurodegeneration. Working with Sonal Das at the MRC PPU and artist Caitlin Monney, he and his team collaborated with centres across the UK to source Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans of adults that Ms. Monney then illustrated – paying special attention to highlight those areas most affected in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders. The dramatic alterations exhibited in these illustrations convey the impact of the disease process and the importance of basic research in finding cures for these devastating illnesses.
