Here we see Jacqueline (graduating senior from our lab, 2024) who made this beautiful ornament dedicated to Henrietta Lacks and HeLa cells. As a Honors biology student she defended her senior thesis on ethics in medical research accompanied by this beautiful flower ornament she made into a female reproductive system and HeLa cells that partially represent Henrietta Lacks.
All images that went into this were obtained from either live of fixed HeLa cells imaged on the Zeiss 980 Laser Scanning Confocal in Syracuse University’s Blast BioImaging Center.
