While completing her PhD in cell biology at the University of California, San Francisco, Janet Iwasa began taking classes in animation. She honed her skills as a molecular animator during her post-doctoral fellowship and she has since joined forces with researchers to make animations of various biological processes. Iwasa joined the faculty at Harvard Medical School in 2008 and is currently at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
