Smart Biology

Smart Biology is on a mission to change how the world understands biology. Our Animated Textbooks represent a highly visual approach to understanding biology and a long overdue alternative to the traditional textbook. We want students to not just memorize, but truly understand biology. We therefore integrate data from across the literature to create comprehensive resources consisting of high quality, accurate animations, 3D interactive structures, text, figures, LMS-quizzes, and much more, all representative of everything that we know today on a given subject. Students can now see, hear, and interact with atoms, genes, cells, evolution, and more.



Andrew Catalano

Andrew Catalano has always wanted to understand how life works at the molecular level. However during his undergraduate studies this effort was hindered by the lack of accurate visualizations in biology textbooks. After completing his PhD in cell and molecular biology, he pursued postdoctoral work in x-ray crystallography, aiming to gain a deeper insight into the processes that occur at the nanometer scale within cells. To his surprise, he soon discovered that the data required for accurate visualizations had long existed in the scientific literature, and the problem was therefore the gap that separated this wealth of information from what was presented in undergraduate textbooks. As chance would have it, Andrew was also a self-taught 3D animator with a visual arts background, and thus possessed the unique skillset required to bridge this divide. Departing from academia, he founded Smart Biology to embark on a mission to redefine biology education. He soon began integrating all types of data from across the literature to produce highly accurate, pedagogical, 3D biology animations for undergraduate teaching. After producing hundreds of animations covering a wide range of topics, he gained a much deeper understanding of the cellular and molecular world, and was thus able to not only show accuracy, but also the big picture and the evolutionary perspective. After more than a decade, Smart Biology has grown into a successful business, and while he is now accompanied by a great team, Andrew continues to produce animations, not just for undergraduates, but also for his own personal drive to understand how life works.
