Scientific illustration and animation services

for biotech, tech + life sciences

Your science is the whole story. But a figure pulled from a paper or a diagram built in PowerPoint can make years of work look like an afterthought. We provide scientific illustration and animation services for biotech, medtech and life sciences teams. We turn mechanisms, pathways and platforms into figures, animated explainers and short videos that investors, partners and customers understand on the first look.

Type of illustrations

Every level of detail, from atom to idea

Not every figure needs the same precision. A crystal structure on a research slide and a hero animation on your homepage are doing different jobs. We work across the whole range, still or moving, and we help you pick the right level for each place your science shows up.

Level of abstraction

Structure-locked

Built from your actual data. We render molecules, proteins and binding sites, so every helix and pocket is where it should be. For the slide where a reviewer will zoom in, or the slow rotating render that lets them see all the way around.

Mechanistic

The biology is right, the forms are simplified. Receptors, ligands and pathways drawn as clean, consistent shapes that show what binds to what and in what order. This is most MoA figures, platform diagrams and pitch deck science slides. It’s also where most of our animation lives: the same MoA figure, played out as a 20 to 30 second sequence that shows the mechanism happening instead of asking the viewer to imagine it.

Conceptual

When the audience needs the gist, not the structure. Cells, molecules and processes as recognizable but stylized visuals that explain the approach in seconds. Built for websites, one-pagers, short social videos and anyone reading on a phone.

Abstract

Science as visual language. Patterns, textures and motion inspired by your platform, used across headers, backgrounds, social and swag. Most often this is a looping hero animation or a set of Lottie micro-animations that give your site a pulse. It never claims to be accurate. It makes your brand feel like your science.

Most projects use two or three of these together. The same molecule can be structure-locked on slide 12, animated in the website hero and abstract on the conference backdrop, and still read as one brand.

Our illustrative work

Figures that make your science credible and clear

We design illustrations and produce animations and videos for every place your science shows up. From a Series A deck to a peer-reviewed paper to a 15 second loop on your homepage, we help your audience get it, fast. Check out our work below.

The Wizardly Way

What we illustrate and animate

If it happens in a lab, a workshop, a body or a bioreactor, we’ve probably drawn it, and there’s a good chance we’ve animated it too. A partial list of the subjects we illustrate for biotech, medtech and life sciences teams. Don’t see your subject here? Send it over. New science is the fun part.

Molecules + structures

Small molecules, peptides, proteins, enzymes, antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates, nucleic acids (DNA, RNA, mRNA, siRNA), lipid nanoparticles, viral vectors (AAV, lentivirus), receptors and binding sites.

Cells + tissues

Cell types and cell structures, cell membranes, organelles, T cells and CAR-T, stem cells, tumor microenvironments, tissue cross-sections, organoids.

Mechanisms + pathways

Mechanism of action, signaling pathways, immune response, gene editing (CRISPR, base editing), protein degradation, drug delivery and release, pharmacokinetics.

Platforms + processes

Discovery and screening workflows, AI and computational pipelines, manufacturing and bioprocessing, clinical trial flows, diagnostics and assay workflows.

Devices + delivery

Medical devices, wearables, implantables, injection and infusion systems, microfluidics, lab instruments, surgical procedures.

Motion + video

Animated mechanism of action, looping website hero animations, platform explainer videos, device and procedure walkthroughs, conference and booth reels, Lottie micro-animations for UI, social cutdowns and animated graphical abstracts.

How we approach every scientific illustration

Good scientific illustration is a translation job. It has to be right for the scientist and readable for everyone else. Our process is built around accuracy checks, early feedback and reuse, so the figures we make hold up under peer review, still look great in a pitch, and are ready to move when you need a video.

We start with the science, not the style

Before we open a design file, we read your papers, sit with your scientists and map the story the figure needs to tell. What happens first, what happens next, and what the viewer should understand by the end. Getting the sequence right is most of the work, and it’s the same sequence a storyboard follows if the figure becomes an animation.

Sketches before polish

We share rough sketches early, and for video, a storyboard and a rough animatic. This is where we catch a missing step, a mislabeled target or an arrow pointing the wrong way, while changes are cheap. You review the logic and the timing first. Then we build the finished artwork and the final render.

Your scientists sign off on accuracy

Every figure, and every frame that matters, goes back to your team for a technical review before it’s final. We build that step into the timeline, so it never feels like a surprise. If a detail changes in your data, we update the figure and re-render the animation to match.

One visual system, many uses

We design your illustrations as a set, with consistent color, line weight and labeling. That way the MoA figure on your website matches the one in your deck, the one on your poster and the one moving in your explainer video. Files come to you in editable formats so your team can adapt them as the science evolves.

Revisions are part of the process. Science changes, and figures should keep up. We expect revisions and plan for them, including a new cut of a video when your pipeline moves or a new candidate enters the clinic.
