Research Image Exhibition

The AGePOP ESRs have taken images of their research projects to display their work from a different angle. Click on the images below to dive into a visual impression of oral drug research for the older population!

The computer’s lab

In the face of uncertainty, points are people, too

The image artistically depicts an enlarged tissue biopsy from the human duodenum surrounded by a crystalline structure resembling ice, illustrating the concept of preservation at low temperatures. The red and orange hues of the biopsy stand out against the monochrome, textured background, symbolizing the warmth of life amid the cold storage necessary for scientific analysis. This visual metaphor represents the meticulous process by which medical professionals and researchers study tissue permeability and protein expression to understand changes due to aging or disease.

Cold and secure: sensitive information remains intact

A laboratory qPCR machine, the Rotor-Gene Q, is shown with a sleek design featuring a metallic silver exterior and a prominent blue-lit lid. The machine is situated against a gradient grey background, highlighting its modern and sophisticated aesthetic.

In a safe hand

Almost like a flower

Like a sun

An artistic, digitally enhanced image portrays a hand holding a small, transparent medical vial with a blue cap and a label, possibly containing a yellow substance. The image is given a vivid, glowing outline effect, emphasizing the colors and contours of the hand and the vial in a striking, illustrative manner.

An unexplored world inside us

Science reflects people who make it

A detailed black and white photograph captures an elderly individual's hand engaging a Jamar hand dynamometer, a clinical tool designed to evaluate hand grip strength. The gauge's needle indicates a measurement, with dual scales in both kilograms and pounds force. The dynamometer's metallic components and textured grip handle are prominently displayed as the person's hand exerts pressure, showcasing a moment of strength assessment in a clinical or rehabilitative setting.

A heavy meal

Flesh and bones

A monochromatic image showcasing a neat pile of white powder on the left and a group of round white tablets on the right, arranged on a smooth surface. The composition conveys a stark contrast between the raw form of a substance and its processed tablet form.

From Powder to Tablet

A black and white photo of a laboratory setting showing an array of glass volumetric flasks and graduated cylinders with stoppers, marked with handwritten labels. The lab equipment is arranged on a benchtop, reflecting the precision and cleanliness typical of a scientific research environment.
