Blebbing

A bleb is an irregular bulge in the plasma membrane of a cell – and ‘Blebbing’ is the work-in-progress title for a video I am currently working on for the BSI (Biophysics Institute) at University of Durham, exploring Dr Maria Staykova’s research into biological membranes.

The test clips below are inspired by the interface between engineered, biological and synthetic components and living cells with artificial scaffolds. I will be working on this over the next few months and developing a soundtrack of the research scientists speaking about their research poetically and without recourse to terminologies. It’ll be interesting to see how they do that!
