They grow on delicate glass casts of their faces in the life support sys tem that provides the best conditions for growth\, outside the lab\nHeirlo om is co-authored between artist Gina Czarnecki &\; Professor John Hun t\, Nottingham Trent University and has been exhibited internationally sin ce its completion in May 2016. Gina and John aim to develop Heirloom to grow layers of cells on anatomically correct structures to fit perfectly t he shape of a subjects face - “Fitting to the skin you're in. Growing ti ssues that fit". This involves developing the scientific research a) for c onsistency in lifting 3D skin scaffolds and b) developing the method and m edia towards possible maxillofacial medical applications that will anatomi cally match the patient. For Heirloom\, they conduct this work in a publi c space to present the ongoing work live for it to viewed as both science and art with an aim to raise ethical questions. An accessible or visible s pace is ideal as it presents aspects of future regenerative therapies to t he public directly for these concepts and approaches relating to cell ther apies and stem cell issues to be known\, considered and discussed.\nSurgic al-Art - An Artistic Exploration of Facial Topography in Surgical Practic e - Professor Partha Vaiude http://www.surgical-art.com/\nProfessor Vaiud e is a plastic &\; reconstructive surgeon\, surgical trainer and educat ional innovator. He commenced surgical practice within the NHS in 2000 and his formal training culminated in becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons specialising in Plastic Surgery. Professor Vaiude did his spec ialist training in Merseyside where he gained a craniofacial Fellowship at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. It is here that he is also the lead surgeo n for a unique hair reconstruction service that is being pioneered to offe r reconstructive hair transplant surgery for children with hair loss from burns\, injuries or surgery. As Managing Director and Faculty Lead for Sur gical-Art\, Professor Vaiude spends much of his time teaching surgical ski lls\, communication and uniquely\, as an exhibited artist himself\, 'artis tic perspectives for surgery'. His goal is to advance surgical training me thods and to bring to the fore lesser taught components such as ethical pr actice and an understanding of the 'art' of Plastic Surgery and he aspires to provide the highest level of quality through innovation or collaborati on in every course. He has a number of innovations to his credit\, includi ng the face reconstruction mask which has been recognised nationally.\n"Th e face is undeniably the most complex anatomical landscape\, designed for higher order function\, interaction and identity. It is my belief that\, f or facial reconstruction\, anatomical knowledge and surgical dexterity alo ne fall short. Planning a reconstruction on this unique topography require s an artistic perspective\, gained through multi disciplinary training\, t o achieve a harmonious and bespoke result."\nForensic and archaeological f acial depiction and cognitive bias - Professor Caroline Wilkinson http:// www.ljmu.ac.uk/facelab \nProfessor Caroline Wilkinson took up the post of Director of Liverpool School of Art &\; Design in October 2014. She ha s a background in art and science and her research and creative work sits at the forefront of art-science fusion and includes subjects as diverse as forensic art\, human anatomy\, medical art\, face recognition\, forensic science\, anthropology\, 3D visualisation\, digital art and craniofacial i dentification. She is Director of the Face Lab\, a LJMU research group bas ed in Liverpool Science Park. The Face Lab carries out forensic/archaeolog ical research and consultancy work and this includes craniofacial analysis \, facial depiction and forensic art.\nCraniofacial depiction from skeleta l remains utilises anatomical standards and anthropometry to ensure the me thodology of facial feature prediction is rigorous and reliable. However\, the addition of skin colour\, hair colour\, expression\, clothing and hai rstyle is reliant on historical knowledge\, DNA analysis and artistic inte rpretation and this may be influenced by preconceived ideas and context. P rofessor Wilkinson will discuss the cognitive bias associated with the dep iction of faces from the past and how this also might affect forensic inve stigation.
