She collaborated with the Regius Professor Michael Ferguson and the architect Jo White. On three facades of the CTIR building, 16 columns of large metal cladding panels incorporate her artistic abstractions which represent the four key scales of life: "Molecular", "Organellar", "Cellular" and "Tissue". The cladding panels (1.5m wide x 3.6m high) are made from a high quality anodised aluminium and are arranged vertically into groups of four panels. The panels address the essence of the four main scales of life and the intangibility of their size and dimensions. The visual abstractions reflect both an interpretive aesthetic approach, and the need to retain scientific recognition and accuracy. The main objective of the work is that the series of images reflect in a meaningful way the scientific research being undertaken within the CTIR building. The CTIR was officially opened by Sir Paul Nurse on 1 October 2014. In 2013 she was awarded a Royal Society of Edinburgh Caledonian European Research Fellowship to study and research in Italy, and was chair of the international printmaking conference IMPACT 8 held in Dundee in August. In 2014 she was awarded £234,872 from the Arts and Humanities Research Council to act as principal investigator on the research project "European Women's video art in the 70s and 80s (EWVA)". A publication associated with the project was published in May 2019. Starting in March 2018 she started work as principal investigator on another AHRC-funded research project (£215,602), "Richard Demarco, the Italian Connection | Exchanges between Scotland and Italy through Richard Demarco in the European context" - a study on the eponymous artist, animator, gallerist, and promoter of the visual and performing arts. Interest in Shemilt's early video and performance work has grown during the early 21st century. The exhibition, SHE DEVIL 8, in Rome in 2016 was described:  Shemilt was featured in Gabriel Schor's book, "The Feminist Avant Garde, Art from the 1970s" in 2016. In 2018. several of her works from the 1970s were acquired by the SAMMLUNG VERBUND art collection in Vienna, and her work is in a touring exhibition, "The Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s", showing in Stavanger (Norway), Brno (Czech Republic), Barcelona (Spain), and New York City. In 2019 she and Venetian artist Federica Marangoni collaborated on "Parallel Dialogues Through Video and Time" at Venice’s Court of Casa Golden.
