Everyday, scientists are discovering and inventing things that no human has ever seen before. David Bolinsky is dedicated to making those discoveries visible, understandable and compelling. David is a pioneer in the scientific animation industry and the founder and creative director of E.mersion Learning Company. With aspirations to be the "Pixar of science education," E.mersion Learning will reinvent science book publishing, with a roster of deeply immersive, interactive books and a line-up of world-class scientist and authors. Previously, David founded XVIVO, an award-winning animation studio that creates compelling visual productions for pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech companies, advertising agencies, educational organizations, museums and broadcast companies.

In his presentations at conferences and events all over the world, David demonstrates the power of his visual medium as an educational tool, and takes audiences, ‘from script to screen,’  as he shares highlights of his company’s animations and illustrations.

After receiving his Association of Medical Illustrators-accredited BS in Medical Illustration from Ohio State University, David accepted a joint faculty appointment as a Medical Illustrator with Michigan State University’s Human and Veterinary Medical Schools.

David completed pre-med and advanced graduate anatomy courses during that time and enrolled in MSU’s College of Human Medicine in 1977. He became Senior Medical Illustrator at the Yale School of Medicine in 1981.

An Association of Medical Illustrators member since 1983, David left Yale in 1984 to found Advanced Imaging, a first-of-its-kind digital medical animation company. In 2001, he co-founded XVIVO LLC.

A four time speaker at the TED Conference, David is frequently asked to lecture and attend panel discussions domestically and abroad, where he is thrilled to meet and interact with his professional peers and emerging talents with inquisitive minds.

David co-founded China’s annual Scientific Animation (SciAn) Festival, held in Guiyang. David’s current pet project is a book entitled Pluripotential: How Stem Cells Will Change Your Life, in collaboration with Daniel Kraft, M.D. (Stanford University).
