About the Exhibit
Experience a captivating visual journey showcasing the extraordinary science at the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center(opens in a new tab), where cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, gene and base editing and 3D bioprinting are driving transformative therapies that are rewriting the future of human health.
At the heart of this exhibit are stunning microscopy images that reveal the remarkable beauty and potential of stem cells — the cells from which every part of us grows. These aren't just beautiful images; they're windows into how researchers model complex disorders, test breakthrough therapies and accelerate medical advances once thought impossible.
Beyond the vibrant visuals:
- Discover real-world impact of stem cell research that has moved from bench to bedside, transforming lives through clinical applications.
- Test your scientific eye with interactive "guess the cell" challenges.
- Meet some of the brilliant Bruin alumni conducting stem cell research at UCLA and learn about the personal motivations that drive their groundbreaking discoveries.
Whether you love science, study it or are just curious about the future of medicine, this exhibit reveals how breakthrough research can also be breathtakingly beautiful. Step inside and discover how UCLA is leading the charge in regenerative medicine, turning today's discoveries into tomorrow's life-saving therapies.
Microscopic Marvels is on display on level 2 of Powell Library, in the Rotunda and Main Reading Room.
