BIOCOM Airport Art Exhibit

Cell Culture:   An artistic exhibit featuring microscopic research from the San Diego life science community.

San Diego International Airport
Terminal 2
June - December 2008

BIOCOM, the Southern California life science community and San Diego International Airport present Cell Culture. Featuring various pieces of art from San Diego life science research institutions and companies, the vibrant artwork gives airport visitors a visual representation of the research that over 40,000 life science employees use in creating new cures for diseases and to help save the environment. On display will be a collection of images; sophisticated computer models of the molecular machinery that makes life itself possible; images taken using high power laser and electron microscopes to probe the microscopic processes inside cells and tissues; and stem cells that may one day allow for the repair and regeneration of damaged and diseased organs.

The exhibit will run from June through December 2008. The exhibit is located behind security in the upper level transition corridor of Terminal 2 between gates 33 and 21 at the San Diego International Airport.
