BioViz Studios, LLC

Pardon the dust, but this is very much still under development.

BioViz Studios, LLC is led by Kevin M Brennan, a Certified Medical Illustrator, animator, and educator with over 15 years of visualization experience. While working at Visible Body he helped create international award-winning animations, publications, and applications.

After six years of commercial medical visualization, Kevin returned to another one of his passions, education. As an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago he taught a variety of classes focusing on animation and molecular visualization.

Kevin has served on research committees investigating topics as diverse as digital fossil reconstruction, motion tracking games for stroke rehabilitation, surgical planning in Virtual Reality with patient-specific data, and interactive patient education materials.

Kevin is currently an Associate Professor and Chair of the Life Science and Pre-Medical Illustration Program at Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University.

He has presented workshops and techniques at the Association of Medical Illustrators’ Conferences, is a Board Member and Co-Editor at the Journal of Biocommunication, and participated in Allan McKay’s year-long Special Effects Technical Director (FX TD) Mentorship.

Prior to medical illustration, Kevin illustrated an invertebrate zoology lab manual, performed independent research on the effects of radiation on invertebrate cardiac development, and created an award-winning image of rotifer morphology with scanning electron microscopy.
