NCMIR’s own Picture Wizard Tom Deerinck featured in the January issue of “The Scientist” magazine


 

NCMIR researcher Tom Deerinck was profiled by writer Jef Akst in the January 2015 issue of the magazine “The Scientist”. Deerinck is a completely unique individual with a novel career history of creating high works of arts from his impeccable scientific studies. The magazine profile details how he came to work when he was 20 years old under the tutelage of distinguished professor Mark Ellisman at UCSD in 1978 as well as how his passion for the scientific process and imaging on state-of-the-art microscopes endures. In addition to having previously won the prestigious Nikon Small World Imaging Competition, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in New York City last October, he also previously won the Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition and was asked to serve as a judge in both events. Deerinck was also named a “Microscopy All-Star” by the journal Cell, and his imagery has been featured in museum shows around the world and in numerous periodicals and documentaries. His work is on permanent display in the Medical Education and Telemedicine building at UCSD as well as in the newly founded Johnson and Johnson Innovation Centers, and was recently featured as part of scientific imaging retrospectives at San Diego’s Lindberg Field and Washington Dulles International Airport.
