Exhibit at a Glance
Real scientific data – Built on up‑to‑date research, including 3D electron microscopy and CT scans, developed in collaboration with scientists and medical experts
Explorable SARS‑CoV‑2 biology – Interactive exploration of the virus, including real spike protein data captured using advanced cryo‑electron microscopy
Inside the human body – CT scans of COVID‑19‑affected lungs reveal how the virus impacts the body from the inside
Global context – An interactive 3D globe traces the spread of COVID‑19 from the first reported case to the worldwide pandemic
Ready‑to‑deploy – A complete, ready‑to‑install exhibition that saves time and resources for science centres and public venues
Featured in the exhibit
SPIKE PROTEIN
The SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins play a central role in infecting our human cells, and it is a target for both antibodies and vaccine designers. With this data set users can study a real Spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus scanned using cutting edge CRYO Electron Microscope technology.
Data by SciLife Lab at The Karolinska Institute, Stockholm
LUNGS
These CT scans from a pair of COVID-19 infected lungs allow visitors to experience what kind of visual and physical damage that the SARS-COV-2 virus can do and what it looks like on the inside of our bodies. Therefor better understand the importance of keeping each other safe and help stop the spreading.
Data by Dr. Altair Costa, Thoracic surgeon at the Federal University Hospital in Sâo Paolo, Brazil, and Norman Gellada, Imaging specialist, 3D and advanced visualization at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.
SARS-COV-2 VIRUS
To unmask the virus and making it visible to our human eyes, visitors can cut into a SARS-CoV-2 virus particle and study its structure and viral properties. In a world where millions of people live under the threat of COVID-19 it is of vital importance to gain a better understanding of how the virus actually works, in search for a cure.
Data by Nanographics, Vienna, Austria
SARS-COV-2 VIRUS
The users will be guided from the first confirmed case of COVID-19 reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019 through the worldwide outbreak, tracking two years of the COVID-19 pandemic via an interactive 3D globe.
