About Our Logo

ISLiM

Our new logo for Research and Development for Next-Generation Integrated Simulation of Living Matter was designed to express the goal of our project, analysis of the human body, by combining an abstracted image of a genome and the shape of the body. The small letter "i" in "ISLiM," the abbreviated version of the project,s name is also shaped like the body. The logo will be used widely in our future publications and Web pages.
