Looking up (with a decent wide angle lens) in the foyer of SAHMRI - The South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.
This unique facility houses 600 researchers across 7 main health themes and has established strong and productive collaborations across the three Universities in the State.
The SAHMRI building itself is also very unique and a standout of modern architecture providing a flexible, adaptable, healthy and sustainable facility. Its certainly a bold statement in a town better known for its conservative buildings.
The locals have knicknamed it 'The Cheesegrater" due to its iconic shape and windows. I've been meaning to do a tour here for a few years now and finally did so today. Definitely worth the visit.

a figure ascends into shadow as geometry and reflection collapse into a single plane. shot through the glass facade of the cedoc medical research institute in lisbon, this moment plays with perception, turning a staircase into a graphic meditation on movement, form and light.
Wistar has produced major scientific and medical discoveries. They have a new building hiding behind this one.
From their website: "The mission of The Wistar Institute is to marshal the talents of outstanding scientists through a highly enabled culture of biomedical collaboration and innovation, in order to solve some of the world’s most challenging and important problems in the field of cancer, immunology, and infectious diseases, and produce groundbreaking advances in world health."

I've wanted to photograph this building for over 18 months. I had planned to photograph it when I moved to WA, but didn't get the opportunity. I think that in some ways it was meant to be, as I have my new 19mm Tilt/Shift lens and it was perfect for this building.
About the building
ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (ESD)
The SAHMRI building is a flexible, adaptable, healthy and sustainable facility. It responds to its surrounding environmental conditions to ensure a comfortable internal working environment and to minimise the use of energy. As a result, our facility has earned a gold rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
ESD highlights of the facility include:
an energy efficient Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system providing a comfortable indoor environment to each work zone, with high levels of outdoor air supply
a water efficient design, including rainwater harvesting and the reuse of processed water
an intelligent integrated building system to provide real time measurement of energy and water consumption of the building
minimised car parking due to excellent links with public transport and close proximity to Adelaide’s city centre
landscaping and public plaza space designed to minimise the heat island effect
a site specific Environmental Management Plan – with a construction waste recycling target of at least 80%
DESIGNED BY WOODS BAGOT
Project architects Woods Bagot say the key to the success of SAHMRI is its central proposition: a new and liberating lab typology that promotes collaboration and medical discovery, attracting the best researchers from around the world. The built form of the SAHMRI acknowledges its sense of place within the green belt of the Adelaide parklands, seamlessly interacting with its surroundings, including Adelaide’s public transport, cycling and walking networks.
The architecture is lifted, creating an open ground plane in an integrated landscape, opening the building to the public as well as users, allowing for greater activation and porosity through the site. Its forecourt, adjacent to the new hospital, encourages interaction and exchange by staff, visitors and the general public. Derived from its unique site geometry and the need to create a forecourt entry adjacent to the new hospital to the west, the SAHMRI’s sculptural, iconic form is characterised by a striking transparent facade that unifies the organic diamond-shaped plan while showcasing the two atria inside the building. Inspired by the skin of a pine cone, the building’s unique triangulated dia-grid facade responds to its environment like a living organism, acting as an articulated sunshade that deals with sunlight, heat load, glare, and wind deflection, while maintaining views and daylight.
Meiji-mura is an open-air museum for preserving and exhibiting works of Japanese architecture from the Meiji period (1868 - 1912). The museum occupies an area so large that it has its own bus service, streetcar and steam train to help visitors get around the village.
The streetcar in the foreground was originally part of the Kyoto streetcar system, which opened in 1895.
The building in the background is the Kitasato Institute, a private medical institution founded by Shibasaburo Kitasato, a pioneer in bacteriology in Japan, at Shiba Shirogane, Tokyo.

PHOTO STORY ABOUT OLD PHILADELPHIA
Pennsylvania Hospital was founded on May 11, 1751, by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Bond and was the second public hospital (the first was Bellevue), but had the first surgical amphitheater in the United States and its first medical library. It is part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The hospital's main building, built in 1756, is a National Historic Landmark..
The outdoor amphitheatre at the Centre for the Unknown, Fundação Champalimaud, Lisbon. The architect was Charles Correa.
This time i'd like to present you a totaly different picture. It centers around the topic "Chemistry in our environment". Everyone today is surrounded by chemistry all the time. Most tools we use are out of products synthesized by chemists. But chemistry is much more: in animals, plants and - of course - humans, a huge variety of chemical processes is going on. We are like a huge reaction vessel: By assimilating substances e.g. food, water or oxygen of the air, new products are formed, energy is released, etc.
This picture which, of course, doesn't show a real laboratory system, should stand for this processes going in our environment.

Our Daily Challenge ... Three cheers for ... medical research scientists.
Last Friday was Daffodil Day ... a day to create awareness and to raise money for medical research to find a cure ... or at least better treatments ... for cancer.
So, three cheers for those dedicated men and women who work tirelessly to find cures for modern day health issues of all kinds.

Nestled in the heart of San Francisco’s burgeoning Mission Bay district, the UCSF Mission Bay Cardiovascular Care and Prevention Center stands as a beacon of modern healthcare architecture and innovation. With its striking glass facade that mirrors the ever-changing skies above, this state-of-the-art facility not only reflects San Francisco’s commitment to cutting-edge medical care but also its deep respect for architectural beauty.
As you approach this landmark center, you’re greeted by reflections of fluffy clouds drifting across panels of blue-tinted glass—a nod to both San Francisco’s notorious foggy weather and its rare crystal-clear days. The building’s design seamlessly integrates into the urban fabric while making its own bold statement—much like San Francisco itself.
The center’s location in Mission Bay is no coincidence; this neighborhood has transformed from industrial roots into a hub for science, technology, and medicine—symbolizing hope and progress. The UCSF center adds to this narrative with its dedication to preventing heart disease through innovative research and patient care.
Inside, natural light floods through expansive windows creating an atmosphere that promotes healing while offering panoramic views of this iconic city—from rolling hills to urban streetscapes. Every detail from lobby to laboratory speaks volumes about San Francisco’s forward-thinking ethos.
Whether you’re admiring it as part of your daily commute or seeking world-class cardiovascular care within its walls, UCSF Mission Bay Cardiovascular Care and Prevention Center is more than just part of San Francisco’s skyline—it’s part of its soul.

For the “Year of Clinical Trial Diversity”, FDA is launching a series of educational videos and materials to raise awareness about the importance of minorities participating in clinical trials. These videos stress the importance of why diversity is needed to help ensure medical products are safe and effective for everyone. Ms. Miller, who is living with sickle cell disease explains why clinical trials need diverse people to discover health disparities—conditions that appear differently in minorities, or affect minorities more frequently.

Human neural progenitor cells were isolated under selective culture conditions from the developing human brain and directed through lineage differentiation to GFAP + (glial fibrillary acid protein) astrocytes. Following 3 weeks in astrocyte selective medium, cells were fixed and stained with antibodies to intermediate filament proteins that characterize the cells as either astrocytes (GFAP in orange) or neural progenitor cells (nestin in green). Nuclei are stained with DAPI in blue. Microscopic examination over the course of differentiation showed loss of progenitor cells (nestin down regulation) as cell population increasingly became astrocytes (GFAP up regulation).

This set of 5 images was to highlight the recently completed Sydney Northern Beaches Hospital by architects BVN. It’s not often you see design of this quality and attention to detail placed into a hospital. If you look into the previous designs by BVN you start to get an understanding of how this could have come about. They’ve done many large scale buildings in the public sector, educations, commercial, defence, health & science, residential, transport and the list goes on. It’s nice to see that the health sector is provided with spaces that aren’t the old typical sterile hospital building we are used to. The way a space can impact a person is real and providing positivity whilst people heal is a step in the right direction. Whilst I love the outside of this building what’s going on inside is just as cool, as the hospital houses around 500 beds of those 60% are public with 40% being private. Which means that everyone within the local area can be treated here! 😃

Electron micrograph of red blood cells infected with Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria in humans. During its development, the parasite forms protrusions called 'knobs' on the surface of its host red blood cell which enable it to avoid destruction and cause inflammation. Using scanning electron microscopy, this image shows a knob-rich infected blood cell surrounded by knobless uninfected blood cells.

Immature muscle cells fuse together during development to form long muscle fibers with many nuclei. To identify factors involved in the fusion process, scientists studied fibroblasts—cells that don’t normally fuse. As shown in the microscopic image, adding a gene that makes a protein named myomerger to fibroblasts causes them to fuse together in flower-like clumps of fluorescently-stained cell nuclei. The protein works in tandem with another protein, called myomaker, to cause fusion. By gaining a better understanding of the processes involved in muscle development and regeneration, the research may help lead to new therapies for muscle disorders.
