The Rx Club annual juried competition for the best international work in print, electronic media and video in the service of healthcare has once again recognized the work of Audra Geras. We are proud to announce that Audra has won four new ‘Awards of Excellence’ this year. The winning art included Audra’s illustration series designed for Roche Pharmaceutical’s Actemra marketing campaign. Actemra, a humanized interleukin-6 receptor-inhibiting monoclonal antibody, is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The Actemra campaign illustrations illuminate the effects of IL-6 on synovial fibroblasts, osteoclasts, ferritin metabolism, and the development of synovitis.Three more Awards of Excellence were given for her illustrations, Facial Musculature, created for Allergan’s Botox, Osteoclast Metabolism for Roche Pharmaceutical, U.S., and Neural Synapse for Trillium Therapeutics. The show opened in N.Y.C. at the Metropolitan Pavilion on Nov. 12th.
