IBEC image wins PCB photography contest
“NanoChristmas trees with lipoballs” (left) by Xavier Fernández Busquets and Marc Cirera was the winning image in the PCB’s first Instagram photo competition ‘Un dia al PCB’ at the end of December.
The Nanomalaria joint unit’s winning submission is a cryo-transmission electron microscope image of liposomes being assayed for the encapsulation of drugs specifically targeted to red blood cells infected by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The competition, which was open to the more than 2000 people who make up the PCB community, aimed to create a mosaic of image for Instagram that depicts a snapshot of life at the park on a typical day.
