BIOTECH & CELLULAR ANIMATION STUDIO
Biotech and Cellular Animation
for Life Science Companies
Molecular and cellular 3D that a specialist recognises
and a non-specialist can follow.
For 25+ years, Pixel Medical Animation has built molecular, cellular and bioprocess 3D for biotech, pharma and life science companies.
Our work in this field includes Germaine de Capuccini, Evidenze and BioCryst, HIPRA, Salvat and Bionet. Based in Europe, working with teams across the US every day.

What Is Biotech and Cellular Animation? (And When You Need It)
3D that shows what happens at molecular and cellular scale: a vesicle releasing its cargo, a pathway switching on, a cell line behaving the way your data says it should. It is what you reach for when the thing you are selling cannot be photographed.
Accuracy a specialist will recognise
Scale, proportion and the relationship between structures come first. If a reviewer in your field cannot recognise it, the rest does not matter.
Built from your own data
Papers, assay results, structural data, lab footage, the slide your scientific director keeps redrawing. We start from what you already have.
One idea per sequence
A pathway tries to say ten things at once. The animation decides which one the viewer takes away, and the rest supports it.
Investor and partner decks
A dense platform turned into two minutes a non-specialist can follow, and repeat to somebody else afterwards.
Scientific communication and teaching
Cellular biology for courses, talks and outreach, where the audience has no background and no patience for a diagram.
Marketing for science-led products
What the ingredient or the technology actually does, which is the part that justifies the price.
BENEFITS OF BIOTECH AND CELLULAR ANIMATION
It shows what cannot be photographed
A vesicle, a receptor, a pathway switching on. These exist, they matter commercially, and no camera reaches them.
It makes a platform investable
A dense technology turned into two minutes that a non-specialist investor follows and can repeat to a colleague.
It survives a specialist audience
Built from your data and reviewed with your team, so the animation holds up in front of the people who know the field.
It serves science and marketing at once
The same 3D becomes a congress piece, a teaching sequence, a website header and a figure in a paper.
It outlives the campaign
A validated model of your biology is an asset you reuse every time the science has to be explained again.
Why Choose Us for Your Biotech Animation

Our Scientific and Cellular 3D Work by Field
Browse our work by field — oncology, cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, and more — to see how we handle the science in your specialty.
Anatomy
We recreate human anatomical structures with visual precision and medical rigor, supporting teaching, outreach and clinical practice.
Genetics
We represent mutations, genetic inheritance and gene editing, helping to understand how genetic information influences health and personalized medicine.
Immunology
We illustrate how the immune system works and how the body responds to viruses, bacteria or vaccines, facilitating scientific and medical communication.
Biotechnology
We showcase biotech applications and genetic engineering processes, from cellular manipulation to the creation of new drugs or biological materials.
Oncology
We represent tumor development and the action of oncology therapies, visually explaining research and advances in cancer treatment.
Cardiology
We animate the functioning of the heart and circulatory system, showing pathologies, surgeries and the effects of cardiovascular treatments.

WORK PROCESS
1
Brief & kickoff
We start from your data, goals, audience, and deadline. You bring the science and the message; we tell you what’s possible and how to make it land.
2
Script & storyboard
We turn the science into a clear narrative and a visual plan you approve before any animation begins, so everyone’s aligned while changes are still cheap.
3
Style frames & 3D modeling
We lock the visual style and build accurate models of your molecule, device, or anatomy.
4
Animation & production
We animate, light, and render in structured review rounds, so your medical, legal, and marketing stakeholders can all sign off in step.
5
Delivery in every format
You get the master plus every version you need — congress, web, social, sales, subtitled, or interactive.
Timelines & What to Expect
Factors That Determine the Price of a Biotech Animation
How much of the biology has to be built from zero, and how closely it has to be reviewed, is most of the difference. These are the factors that move the figure.
How much has to be modelled from scratch
A structure that already exists in a library is not the same job as one nobody has built yet, which is common in biotech.
Scientific complexity
A single mechanism and a full pathway with branches and timing are different amounts of work, not different finishes.
The material you give us
Imaging, structural data, papers and previous figures shorten production. Starting from a verbal description does not.
Depth of scientific review
Someone qualified has to confirm that what the animation shows is what happens. That review is part of the schedule, not an afterthought.
Deliverables, versions and languages
Congress cut, investor version, web and teaching material share most of the work if the list is agreed before production.

What is biotech animation used for?
Explaining a platform, a process or a mechanism to people who have to decide something: investors, partners, regulators, customers or students. It is used wherever the thing being explained happens at a scale no camera reaches.
How is cellular animation different from medical animation?
It is the same craft at a different scale. Medical animation usually explains a treatment or a device in a body; cellular and biotech animation explains what happens inside and between cells, often before there is a product at all.
Can you animate our own assay or imaging data?
Yes, and it is the best starting point. Imaging, structural data and assay results make the animation specific to your science instead of generic biology.
Who reviews the science?
Your own specialists, at script and at first render rather than at the end. That is when changes are cheap and when a disagreement about the biology is still easy to fix.
How long does a biotech animation take?
Between four and twelve weeks depending on how much has to be modelled from zero and how many review rounds the science needs.
Can the same animation work for investors and for scientists?
Usually as two cuts of the same build. The science does not change; the pacing, the labelling and the level of detail do.
Do you work with companies that have no product yet?
Often. A platform at preclinical stage still has to be explained, and 3D is frequently the only way to show it.
What do you need from us to start?
Whatever exists: papers, data, previous figures, a slide deck, and the name of the person who has to approve the science.
