Case Study: How Medical Visuals Helped NanoView Biosciences Grow and Get Acquired

The Challenge

NanoView Biosciences develops technologies for analyzing extracellular vesicles and viral vectors, supporting research in areas such as gene therapy and diagnostics. As the company expanded its product portfolio and market presence, it needed clearer ways to communicate complex scientific concepts to a range of audiences, including researchers, investors, and industry partners.

Over several years, we worked closely with the NanoView team to develop a library of visual assets that could be used across their website, presentations, conference materials, and product communications.

But their challenge?
NanoView's technology is highly specialised, making it difficult to explain quickly and clearly outside of technical audiences. The company was looking for visual materials that could:

  • Explain how its platforms and workflows function

  • Create a more consistent visual identity across marketing and communications

  • Support presentations, investor discussions, and conference activities

  • Showcase products in a clear and professional way

The Solution: Visual Storytelling by Now Medical Studios

Rather than producing a single set of illustrations, we collaborated with NanoView over multiple projects as their needs evolved.

 

🔬 Website Medical Illustrations

We created custom illustrations to explain NanoView's exosome capture and lentivirus analysis technologies. These visuals were designed to make complex workflows easier to understand while remaining scientifically accurate.

🧪 3D Product Visuals

Using CAD files and technical documentation provided by the NanoView team, we developed detailed 3D models and renders of instruments, cartridges, and reagent kits. These assets were used across the company's website, presentations, and marketing materials.

🌐 Branded Visual Assets

We developed graphics for:

  • Website banners

  • Conference booth displays

  • Social media and fundraising decks

🎉 Acquisition by Unchained Labs

In 2022, NanoView Biosciences was acquired by Unchained Labs, marking an important milestone in the company's growth. While many factors contribute to an acquisition, clear communication of complex technology is an important part of building understanding and confidence among stakeholders.

“We’ve been watching exosomes for a while and the NanoView platform is the real deal… We’re pumped to have this killer team and technology on board.”
Taegen Clary, SVP Marketing, Unchained Labs
