Our Group hosted the Spring Scientific Meeting of the Institute of Anatomical Sciences on 10-11 April 2017 at Magdalene College, Cambridge (programme). The was a tour of the Pepys Library, including the opportunity to view Pepys's anatomical books. The gala dinner was hosted at the 16th-century Hall at Magdalene College, originally the monastic refectory. There was also a demonstration of new 3D imaging technology used to teach neuroanatomy. Key speakers included Dr Stephen Barclay, Dr Cecilia Brassett, Ms Emily Evans, Mr Chris Kassam, Dr Jamie MacKay, Dr Matthew Mason, Dr Tom Turmezei, Emeritus Professor David Riches, and Mr Bob Whitaker. Current Part II students at the Department of PDN also presented their research, on which please see our page on NST Part II PDN Anatomy Projects. For more information, please see the following link
The Anatomical Society Winter Meeting
Members of our Group worked together to host the Anatomical Society Winter Meeting from 14-16 December 2015 which was held at Magdalene College, Cambridge.
The theme of the meeting was the past, present and future of the pursuit of anatomical knowledge. The choice of Cambridge as the venue was prompted by two important landmarks: 2015 was the 450th anniversary of the first dissections at Gonville Hall in 1565, and 2016 marks the 300th anniversary of the opening of the first Anatomy School in Queens' Lane.
Key speakers included Professor Susan Standring, Mr Francis Wells and Mr Mick O'Dea. The conference was attended by over 100 delegates, and topics covered ranged from the continuing relevance of Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings to recent advances in medical imaging.

For the SOMSO museum, click here, for the SOMSO factory click here
This visit was organised by the Institute of Anatomical Sciences. We were hosted by the Sommer family, who opened the SOMSO museum in 2001 to celebrate the company’s 125th anniversary. The museum comprises numerous collections of SOMSO models. We were also able to see at first hand the meticulous care that goes into the production of anatomical models.
