Drew Berry

Drew Berry (born 1970) is an American biomedical animator at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia.

Since 1995, Berry has been a biomedical animator at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.

[2] His 3D and 4D animations have focussed on explaining cellular and molecular processes relevant to research conducted at the institute, in fields including molecular biology, malaria, cell death, cancer biology, hematology and immunology.

His animations which formed part of Harold Varmus' 'Genes and Jazz' presentation were described by The New Yorker as "astonishingly beautiful".

"[5] In 2010, the New York Times claimed "If there is a Steven Spielberg of molecular animation, it is probably Drew Berry"[6] After collaborating with Berry for the Biophilia animated music app, the musician Björk described Berry as "someone who has made scientifically correct animation of DNA… on this project, he has crossed the line beautifully into the artistic realm where he has animated gorgeous DNA but added some poetic licence... he truly has brought magic to our insides, and shows us that we don’t have to look far for the miracle of nature, it is right inside us!
