The Art and Science of Medical Animation: Behind-the-Scenes
By
Michael Astrachan
The Vaccine Makers Project, a program of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (VEC@CHOP) and Medical History Pictures (MHP), partnered up again with XVIVO to help develop two new animations, this time about how COVID-19 mRNA and viral vector vaccines work.
Here, we’ll show you what went on behind the scenes to make the COVID-19 vaccine animations.

Continuing our long working relationship with Johnson & Johnson, XVIVO created a series of animations for their Listerine mouth rinse line of products. The animations were all developed for dental professionals, to educate them on the mechanism and benefit of the various Listerine products.
How COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Work – Vaccine Makers Project

Michael Astrachan
In partnership with CHOP, VMP and Medical History Pictures, XVIVO has created a series of animations that bring to life the detailed processes of how the human immune system fights diseases at both the cellular and molecular levels with the help of vaccinations. In response to ever-evolving conditions within the current pandemic, we have just completed the first of two new videos that explain specifically how COVID-19 vaccines work to prevent the disease.

Qlaris Bio is investigating a novel type of medicine to reduce the pressure inside the eye, with the hopes of providing a new and targeted option to people suffering from glaucoma. To help viewers understand how their investigational drug QLS-101 works, the first step was to make the complex anatomy of the eye more understandable and explain the variety of factors that regulate the pressure inside the eye under normal circumstances.
Peering into the Brain: Neuralink’s brain-machine interface

Michael Astrachan
Recognizing our shared humanity during this difficult time is foundational to our ability to foster constructive dialogue and cooperation as we chart a way forward. It is in this spirit that we present the following animation we created years ago, “One Body,” as a reminder of the things we share, the things that unite us as a human family.
Understanding the Science Behind Viruses Can Help You Get Through the Pandemic
By
Michael Astrachan
The beautiful thing about science is that once we understand how things work, we can then make intelligent decisions. There’s a lot of highly politicized and sometimes conflicting messaging floating around about the current COVID-19 pandemic raging across the globe. So we thought it would be timely to share with you some highly informative animations we have produced about the mechanisms of virus transmission and the capability of the human body’s immune system to fight back and protect us.
