Matthew Bohan is a freelance medical illustrator with a master’s degree in biology as well as an MFA in medical and biological illustration. With over twenty years experience, Matt’s medical illustrations and animations have appeared in print, video and web-based delivery. He has worked with a wide variety of clients including major pharmaceutical companies, Universities and software developers. Having graduate degrees in both Art and Science allows me to "speak science" with my clients, while making sure everything is done in a visually pleasing style. In addition to having very accurate images and animations, I come up to speed on the concepts behind the projects quickly. In creating images, my priority is always teaching. I believe that first and foremost a good image or animation must convey information effectively. Specialties: Medical Illustration, Biological Illustration, 2D and 3D Animation, Molecular Biology Animation, Pharmaceutical Mechanism of Action Animations, Journal Cover Art, Medical Device Illustration and Animation
