VOKA’s collection of drug development animations

/01

Antihistamine drug explained

This high-detail 3D animation visualizes how the drug interacts with the nasal mucosa and targets the underlying inflammatory pathway. It shows the drug’s interaction with IgE-mediated processes and the resulting modulation of inflammatory mediator release.

/02

Appetite control via the brain–gut axis

This detailed 3D animation explores the molecular mechanism of appetite regulation by an incretin-based therapy. It illustrates how the molecule binds incretin receptors in the hypothalamus and modulates the brain–gut axis to increase satiety and control metabolic responses.

/03

Antibody therapy for Alzheimer’s

Explore how engineered antibodies travel through the bloodstream, cross the blood-brain barrier, and target amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease. The video shows how microglia and macrophages clear plaque fragments, reducing pathology without triggering inflammation.

/04

Flea and tick treatment

This high-detail 3D animation explores the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mechanisms of an isoxazoline anti-parasitic. It illustrates how the systemic insecticide enters the host's bloodstream and selectively disrupts the parasite's GABA-gated chloride channels, causing fatal neuronal hyperexcitation.

/05

Targeted therapy in breast cancer

Explore HER2-positive breast cancer in this 3D medical animation. See how abnormal HER2 receptors drive tumor growth, how IHC and FISH testing confirm the diagnosis, and how targeted therapy blocks cancer cell signaling.

Our animation production process

Pre-estimate Pre-estimate

01. Pre-estimate

We prepare an initial estimate based on your goals, references, and available assets. Once it's approved, we finalize the agreement, create a scenario, and begin pre-production.

Deliverable: High-level scenario

Pre-production Pre-production

02. Pre-production

Together with our in-house medical experts and your team, we create a detailed storyboard that serves as a blueprint for production. We also reuse existing assets if possible to reduce costs without compromising accuracy.

Deliverable: Storyboard

03. Production

Modeling: We create all the 3D models for the video and confirm the initial shapes and composition with you.
Animation: The models are brought to life with professional animation, based on the approved storyboard.

Deliverable: Animatic

04. Rendering

Visual refinement: We apply textures, lighting, and shading to the models, providing you with a preview of the final look.
Rendering: The finished 3D scene is processed into a high-quality video file.

Deliverable: Rendered video

05. Post-production

We complete post-production by editing the video, adding visual effects, and refining every detail before final approval.

Deliverable: Final edit

Explaining invisible biological processes is always a challenge, and VOKA found the perfect way to visualize them. The team accurately illustrated how vitamin D3 is absorbed in the body, from macro anatomy to microscopic interactions, with great attention to scientific detail.

    FAQ

    What is drug development animation?

    Drug development animation is a custom scientific animation that shows how a drug is researched and developed. It can explain discovery processes, preclinical research, clinical development, technologies, or scientific data in a clear visual way.

    What stages of drug development can be visualized?

    You can visualize one stage or several connected stages of development. This may include target identification and validation, screening, candidate selection, preclinical development, PK/PD, formulation, drug delivery, or clinical development.

    How is drug development animation different from MoA animation?

    Drug development animation focuses on how a drug candidate is researched, tested, and developed, while MoA animation focuses on how a specific treatment works: how it interacts with a target, pathway, or cell.

    What materials are needed to create a drug development animation?

    The materials depend on the project. They may include scientific references, publications, diagrams, study data, platform documentation, approved terminology, brand guidelines, and information about the target audience. We use the materials that are relevant to the story you want to tell.

    How do you ensure scientific accuracy in drug development animation?

    We check the scientific sources and review the storyboard and key scenes throughout production. VOKA's medical experts work alongside your subject-matter experts to make sure the visuals accurately represent the science behind the project.

    Can the animation be updated as the development program evolves?

    Yes, individual scenes or 3D assets can be updated when the project changes. What can be reused or updated depends on the original production setup, versioning, and the post-delivery support included in your project.

    What is the difference between drug discovery and drug development animation?

    Drug discovery animation usually focuses on the early search for a promising drug candidate, such as target identification, screening, hit-to-lead, and lead optimization. Drug development covers a wider part of the journey, including preclinical research, PK/PD, drug delivery, and clinical development.
