MitoSys

Systems biology of MitoSys

Artakt has been selected to create three innovative exhibitions with satellite events and performances in London, Berlin and Milan for MitoSys, a 10 million euro, five year scientific research project funded by the EU Framework 7 Programme.

The aim of MitoSys (The Systems Biology of Mitosis) will be to generate a comprehensive mathematical understanding of mitotic division in human cells, a process of fundamental importance for human health. It is a large integrated project involving internationally leading mathematicians, biochemists, biophysicists and biologists working at twelve universities, research institutes, international organisations and companies across Europe.

The exhibitions will be the first of their kind to look at the complexities of systems biology. Through the commissioning of artists, composers and choreographers to create new works inspired by the research, the exhibitions bring cutting-edge biological research-in-progress into the cultural arena and shed light on the life and work of the scientists as they undergo their experiments.

Commissioned artists to be announced here soon.
