Scientific Leadership Team

As Scientific Managing Director, Ksenia reviews every frame for accuracy, coordinates between technical and creative teams, and ensures your molecular mechanisms are represented with absolute fidelity. Her background in cellular signaling and protein interactions means she catches subtle errors that could undermine credibility. She's your primary point of contact throughout the project, maintaining the delicate balance between scientific complexity and visual clarity that makes animations both accurate and accessible.

Her approach combines the rigor of academic research with the efficiency of business execution—a rare combination that ensures projects stay on schedule without compromising quality. Having published first-author papers in peer-reviewed journals, she knows the importance of getting every detail right. Yet her startup experience taught her that perfection must be balanced with deadlines and deliverables.

As a founding team member since 2015, Isabel has developed and refined our signature approach to scientific storytelling. She's completed over 100 projects, each requiring her to distill hundreds of pages of research into clear, engaging narratives that maintain scientific integrity while achieving business objectives. Her process begins with deep immersion in your science—reading your papers, understanding your mechanism, identifying the key insights that will resonate with investors.

What sets Isabel apart is her ability to find the narrative thread that connects molecular events to therapeutic outcomes. She understands that investors don't just want to see how a drug binds—they want to understand why that binding matters, what cascade it triggers, and how that translates to patient benefit. Her scripts and storyboards create a logical flow that guides viewers from problem to solution, making complex science feel inevitable rather than impenetrable.

Her creative process produces unexpectedly elegant solutions to complex visualization challenges. Clients consistently praise her ability to capture the essence of their science while making it accessible to non-specialist audiences. She maintains close collaboration with researchers throughout the process, ensuring every simplification serves clarity without sacrificing accuracy.

His decade at Biomol Visual has been dedicated to perfecting the art of molecular visualization. Andrew creates scientifically accurate 3D frameworks for complex biomolecular interactions, ensuring every bond angle, every conformational change, every molecular interaction follows the laws of physics and chemistry. When he builds a protein, it's not just visually correct—it's structurally valid down to the side chain orientations.

Beyond technical accuracy, Andrew brings pedagogical clarity to every project. As founder of an educational platform and instructor at the University of Toronto, he's taught complex biological concepts to over 100 students. This teaching experience informs his visualization approach—he knows how to reveal complexity gradually, building understanding layer by layer. His work doesn't just show; it teaches.

His expertise spans the full range of biomolecular visualization: protein-protein interactions, DNA-RNA dynamics, membrane transport, enzyme catalysis, and signal transduction pathways. He's particularly skilled at representing dynamic processes—showing not just structures but mechanisms in motion. His work has been featured in top-tier journals and conferences, setting the standard for scientific visualization in the industry.

Winner of the 2024 AMI Award and Pixie Award, Ushma has art-directed over 50 productions in her five years at Biomol Visual. Her unique ability lies in elevating structurally accurate molecular frameworks into photorealistic visualizations that are both scientifically precise and visually stunning. Working with our team of 3D visualization specialists, she ensures every project achieves the perfect balance between accuracy and impact. She understands that in the world of biotech funding, credibility comes not just from accuracy but from production values that match the innovation of the science.

Her process begins with deep research into visual references—electron microscopy images, cellular imaging—ensuring every texture, every surface, every lighting choice has a basis in scientific reality. Yet she also knows when to employ artistic license to enhance understanding: choosing colors that differentiate without confusing, adjusting transparency to reveal hidden mechanisms, choreographing camera movements that guide the eye through complex processes.

Having co-authored papers in Nature Methods (2025) and contributed to four peer-reviewed neuroscience publications, she brings scientific credibility to aesthetic decisions. Every visual choice serves both beauty and understanding. Her style frames set the visual tone for entire projects, establishing a consistent visual language that carries through from molecule to cell to therapeutic effect.

Before launching Biomol Visual, Benjamin worked in pharmaceutical business development, managing complex drug discovery partnerships and CRO services. This experience taught him that visual clarity of a scientific presentation directly impacts business outcomes—from investor decisions to regulatory approvals to partnership negotiations. He saw how the right visual assets could unlock funding rounds, accelerate FDA approvals, and facilitate major acquisitions.

Over the past decade, Benjamin has helped biotech clients achieve extraordinary business milestones through strategic visual communication. His work has supported successful funding rounds, regulatory presentations, and strategic partnerships. For several long-term clients, he's developed integrated campaigns that drove sustained revenue growth—in some cases generating millions annually and ultimately facilitating successful exits. These partnerships demonstrate his ability to align visual strategy with commercial objectives, whether the goal is Series A funding, strategic partnership, or acquisition.

His obsession with business outcomes has shaped every aspect of Biomol Visual's approach. He's built an exceptional team of specialists who understand that every production must serve a strategic purpose. By maintaining lean operations and focusing exclusively on molecular and cellular mechanisms, the team are able to deliver premium quality while ensuring strong ROI for every client investment.
