Nathan Chasen sees the art behind parasites
_No Author
Nathan Chasen doesn’t just see parasites within the infectious diseases he studies. He sees art.
Blending his scientific background with some industrial-grade artistic chops, Chasen creates metal cast sculptures of the parasites he studies for the mentors who have guided him throughout his academic career.
“I’ve had some great mentors who have really gone to bat for me in my career,” said Chasen, a senior research associate in the lab of Karl Lechtreck, professor of cellular biology in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.
Indeed, Chasen takes artistic inspiration from his mentors and colleagues. In their work, he said, they often produce beautiful electron microscopy images.
