PHBHHx-based filament study manuscript coauthor receives Literary Award
Congratulations to Brad Gilleland on receiving the 2024 Literary Award from the Association of Medical Illustrators at the group’s annual conference held last month.
Gilleland is a medical illustrator in the Educational Resources Center, in the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. He designed the medical illustrations used to 3D-print samples of a cat vertebra, skull bone, and an aortic arch cast using a filament made from a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate), or PHBHHx, material that was developed at the UGA New Materials Institute.
The Literary Award recognizes an AMI member who contributed an outstanding article to the Journal of Biocommunication, as judged by the journal’s editorial board. Gilleland is a coauthor on our manuscript published by the journal, “A Biologically Degradable and Bioseniatic™ Feedstock for the High-Quality 3D Printing of Medical Illustrations.”
