Our in-house animation studio will create scientific animations and visualization graphics for the ICMS and TU/e in general. A special focus will be on bridging length scales, scientifically as well as visually and on the development of a new visual language for complex molecular systems. The images and movies created in the studio can also be used for popular scientific communication. In the studio there are possibilities for students; internships, undergraduate projects and student jobs (student assistants). According to one of our recent student assistants: "Working at the ICMS Animation Studio is the best job I've ever had, and I've also learned a lot"

Towards a living artificial kidney- World Expo 2010 Shanghai Edition
We're proud that one of the first animations created by the ICMS Animation Studio will be part of the exhibition at the Dutch Pavilion at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. From May till October 2010 the animation (see video on your right) is shown continuously on a Philips 3D Display.
Contents
Scientists are investigating alternative methods to treat patients with kidney failure. A promising approach might be the development of a living artificial kidney. Kidney cells are cultured on a synthetic membrane composed of bioactive nanomaterials. This concept is currently explored by Björne Mollet MSc, dr. Patricia Dankers and prof.dr. Bert Meijer of the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems and the Department of Biomedical Engineering (Eindhoven University of Technology) and is illustrated in this animation.
Ongoing work
- A still from "Dendrimers in action", one of the animations currently being created in the ICMS Animation Studio. This animation will feature the complex aggregation behavior of water soluble dendrimer-guest complexes as described by PhD student Thomas Hermans in his Nature Nanotechnology paper. See the ICMS 'News Page' for more information about the paper.
