MAKE YOUR SCIENCE STAND OUT

SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL ARTWORK

NEXU creates high-impact scientific journal artwork and publication visuals for universities, research groups and life science organisations around the world. From journal cover submissions to research communication assets, we help scientists visualise complex discoveries in a way that is accurate, engaging and memorable.

We have worked with institutions such as The University of Southampton, Trinity College Dublin, The University of Texas at Austin, University of Galway, University College Dublin, The Royal College of Surgeons and many more.

WHAT WE CREATE:

Journal cover artwork | Publication graphics | Research announcement visuals | Conference and poster imagery | Graphical abstracts | Website and social media research visuals

CASE STUDY:

THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON

We worked with the fantastic team over at The University of Southampton to create high-impact cover artwork for their paper published in ACS Biochemistry journal.

Research led by The University of Southampton (@sotonbiosci) shows laboratory-developed protein spikes are consistent with the COVID-19 virus, meaning spike proteins can be robustly manufactured with minimal variations between laboratories. This is great news for vaccine development.

The artwork depicts a complete SARS-CoV-2 virion with glowing sugar glycans on the spike proteins.

“Working with NEXU to create images of the SARS‑CoV‑2 viral spike protein was such a great experience. They produced spectacular images that strikingly convey the complexities of viral biology.”

We were delighted with how the science journal artwork turned out and helped bring attention to the publication of our research”
