Objective

I had the opportunity to work with Microsoft on a project aimed at educating healthcare professionals about the revolutionary potential of AI-driven cancer research, specifically in collaboration with UHN. The goal was to communicate complex scientific concepts—such as precision medicine and data analysis across multiple cancer treatment platforms—in an accessible and engaging way. My challenge was to design 3D animations that would simplify these intricate processes, making them understandable for a broad audience without diminishing their scientific depth.

Solution

With a focus on clarity and engagement, I developed a series of 3D animations that demystified the roles of PharmacoDB, SYNERGx, and CReSCENT within AI-powered cancer treatment. Drawing on my research and scientific visual references, I created simplified models of cancer cells and other cellular structures, keeping the visuals approachable and focused on learning.

Each animation highlighted how these platforms work together to drive innovation in cancer treatment, making the material both approachable and informative. By combining scientific accuracy with simplicity, the animations supported Microsoft’s mission to educate healthcare professionals and promote AI’s potential in advancing cancer research.
