The University of Wisconsin-Madison biochemistry department will debut a new art exhibit to educate the public on the universitys current and past cancer research. <\/p>\n
The exhibit, Healing through Art and Science: Cancer, is part of an ongoing initiative by the biochemistry department to showcase the universitys research through art, according to a statement released by the university. <\/p>\n
The exhibit includes a 110-foot-long collection of photographs by local artist Carol Bjerke that explores her experience with colon cancer and her journey to understand her experiences, according to the statement. <\/p>\n
Additionally, other pieces in the exhibit will focus on specific research projects at the university, including a look at carcinogens, which are substances thought to cause cancer. <\/p>\n
The exhibit is free and open to the public in the Biochemistry Addition until March 31. An official opening will take place Feb. 22 at 3 p.m. <\/p>\n
