Eosinophil Portraits: Edition I

Uncovering the unique eosinophil universe, this exhibition features eosinophil images captured
by electron microscopy and presented at the intersection of science and art. As a portrait, every
image reflects a moment of the eosinophil’s lifetime experience in health or disease and invites
the viewer to engage with and learn from this multifaceted, enigmatic, and beautiful cell. This Exhibition also celebrates the release of the book Eosinophil Ultrastructure – Atlas of Eosinophil Cell Biology and Pathology (Elsevier, 2022) authored by Rossana Melo in collaboration with two Harvard Professors (Ann Dvorak, and Peter Weller, Harvard Medical School). The book has the distinction of being the first entirely focused on the ultrastructure of a specific cell of the immune system – the eosinophil – involved in many allergic and inflammatory human diseases. The book includes an extensive array of electron microscopic images that illustrate and give guidelines to understand human eosinophils in studies focused on cell biology, cellular immunology, pathology, and immune responses to pathogens and inflammation.
