Salk research investigates how a 3D architectural protein reacts to environmental stress and impacts the organization of our genome; ultimately dictating a physiological or diseased state in our cells. Super resolution microscopy imaging allows us to visualize how stress is affecting us down to the cellular and molecular level.

  • Jacket with ‘armor’ of lemon shaped proteins that morph and disband represent steady state and cellular response to environmental stress in the breast tissue
  • The helix shaped boning in skirt represent DNA structures that bind us and shift with stress/movement
  • Bustier represents use of mammary cells in research
  • Transparency of bodice represents experience of scientist looking into cells with hi-res imaging tools
  • Cords with lemon shapes stretching between skirt and inner cigarette pants represent cellular proteins affected by environmental stressors
  • Frayed, disfigured sleeve and hem represent genomic responses to stress
