About the President

Marcelo Oliver, the President of Body Scientific, graduated from the University of Michigan in 1992. As a person of color, with an African-American father and Brazilian mother, Marcelo has always been committed to incorporating diverse representations in his work. Many of his early illustrations featured members of his own family, highlighting the rich diversity within. Today, Marcelo leads a talented team of medical artists at Body Scientific, who create high-quality medical illustrations and animations. On this Black Health Illustrated page, we showcase our contributions to inclusive medical art, ensuring that people of color are represented in medical education.

Inclusive Education Materials

At Body Scientific, we believe in the power of inclusive education. Our patient and professional education materials are designed to resonate with diverse audiences. A prime example is our new anatomical chart series, which feature a broad spectrum of skin tones and inclusive representations. We are eager to collaborate with you to create medical education materials and images that reflect the diversity of the world we live in.
