The following description comes from the event organizer.
Take a closer look at the neurobiology of schizophrenia through multiple lenses – literally! Michelle and Cassie draw from their respective practices to highlight the similarities between scientific and artistic experimentation. Discover the importance of collaboration as they discuss common threads between their unique perspectives.
Michelle Kielhold is a PhD candidate at Oregon Health & Science University under the mentorship of Dr. Bita Moghaddam. Her dissertation work focuses on a gene that has been identified as a potential risk factor in individuals with schizophrenia. By utilizing CRISPR technology to alter gene expression, she hopes to better understand how variants of this gene can affect behaviour and brain function.
Cassie Ferguson is a Portland-based printmaker and film photographer who received her B.S. in Biology with a Minor in Art from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, and her MFA in Print Media from Pacific Northwest College of Art at Willamette University. In her art practice, she draws from her experience as a skateboarder, and uses lithographs and photogravure etchings to document and showcase various aspects of skate culture.
