Artist Katie Paterson has been exploring the personal, cultural and political dimensions of health research with scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. She worked closely with the Institute's Faculty member Chris Tyler-Smith and his Human evolution research group.

Fossil Necklace, along with other works by Katie Paterson, is being displayed at Kettle's Yard gallery in Cambridge until 23rd June 2013.
