Terese Winslow LLC

What Terese Winslow LLC does

Terese Winslow LLC is a private, single-member medical and scientific illustration studio founded in 1990 and based in the Alexandria/Washington D.C. area. The firm creates and licenses medically accurate illustrations and animations for publishers, government health agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and academic researchers; representative clients include the National Cancer Institute (PDQ Cancer Information Summaries 2004-2024), NIH Stem Cell Reports (2001-2013), Scientific American, Science, The Scientist, Merck, Novartis, Celgene, Roche Nederland B.V., Elsevier, and the American Society for Microbiology Press.

The studio's product surface spans static illustrations organized by anatomical system (digestive, circulatory, respiratory, urogenital, head and neck, breast, skin/bone, and cellular/scientific), cancer staging images aligned to AJCC 8th Edition guidelines, and medical animations covering topics such as immune function and cancer metastasis. Production relies on digital illustration tools executed by a certified medical illustrator, with output protected under U.S. and international copyright. A licensable content library accumulated over three decades forms the core asset base, with multi-year licensing terms pricing quotes based on usage format, copies, period, and language.

Revenue is generated through two principal streams: quote-based licensing of existing illustrations (used in textbooks, journals, websites, theses and dissertations) and bespoke commissioned work priced on topic, deadline, and end-client specifications. Distribution is direct via email and phone, with no intermediaries or resellers; primary customer segments are medical publishers and journals, government health agencies (NCI, NIH), pharmaceutical companies, and academic researchers. The business is bootstrapped and founder-owned with no external capital, investors, or parent company relationships disclosed.

Emerging players

• Visible Body: Interactive 3D anatomy and physiology platform used in medical, nursing, and allied-health education. Comparable in delivering anatomy visualization to medical educators and students, but competes through a software/SaaS model rather than commissioned illustration.
• BioDigital: 3D human anatomy and disease-modeling platform used by pharma, MedEd, and healthcare organizations. Comparable in addressing the need for accurate medical visualization, but offers a scalable software product rather than bespoke illustration services.

Direct peers

• AXS Studio: Medical animation and illustration studio specializing in mechanism-of-disease and mechanism-of-action storytelling for pharmaceutical and biotech clients. Comparable in target buyer (pharma medical communications), deliverable type (scientific illustration and animation), and demand for clinical accuracy.
• Anatomical Chart Company: Long-standing producer of anatomical charts, models, and medical reference illustrations sold through education and healthcare channels. Comparable in the medical reference illustration category and in serving medical educators, students, and clinical professionals.
• Cognition Studio: Scientific and medical visualization studio producing illustrations, animations, and interactive media for research institutions, publishers, and life-science companies. Directly comparable in the combination of medical illustration plus scientific storytelling for institutional clients.
• Nucleus Medical Media: Medical illustration and animation studio producing anatomical, surgical, and disease-state visuals for publishers, pharma, and health systems. Directly comparable to Terese Winslow LLC in service offering, buyer profile, and medical-accuracy-driven value proposition, though operating at larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Elsevier (Complete Anatomy): Major medical publisher whose textbooks, journals, and Complete Anatomy 3D platform incorporate medical illustrations. Comparable as both a buyer of medical illustration and a broad incumbent that internalizes aspects of the visual content value chain.
• Wolters Kluwer (Health/Lippincott): Large medical publisher (including Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and Ovid) producing clinical reference and learning content with embedded medical illustrations. Comparable as an institutional buyer of medical illustration and as a broad incumbent in medical reference publishing.
