OVERVIEW

In my role as Head of the Division of Clinical Anatomy, I lead a multi-disciplinary team dedicated to modernizing anatomical sciences within the faculty and newly established Biomedical Research Institute. My approach is grounded in a deep commitment to research integrity, bioethics, and professional work ethics, as I strive to ensure the division remains a secure and supportive environment for innovation and for everyone who passes through our doors. Currently, I oversee the integration of advanced technologies into our workflows, ensuring the division remains aligned with an evolving global landscape while remaining strictly mindful of the ethical and legal requirements that govern our unique space.
