What is a pattern?

We ask this deceptively simple question to people on the street and get some surprising answers.

Our Crick scientists give their perspective on the patterns they find in their research, often at a microscopic level.

At our new exhibition, Deconstructing Patterns: art and science in conversation, artists have collaborated closely with Crick researchers to explore three intricate developmental patterns, offering new insights into the mystery of the human body.
