We are pleased to announce the publication of the abstract “Synthetic anatomy: Beyond the confines” in the FASEB Journal (vol. 34, S1, 2020). This work by Mandeep Gill Sagoo contributes to the growing dialogue around how anatomy education can be reimagined in the digital and design era. What the abstract covers In this piece, Sagoo […]

We are thrilled to announce that the Synthetic Anatomy teaching team has been honoured with the FoLSM Staff Award 2024 – Outstanding Biosciences Education Contribution at King’s College London. This prestigious award recognises the team’s leadership in reimagining anatomy education. Through their interdisciplinary module, students don’t just learn about anatomical structures — they design and

The Synthetic Anatomy module at King’s College London offers a refreshing alternative to traditional STEM assessments by placing process, reflection, and collaboration at the heart of student learning. Rooted in both artistic practice and scientific inquiry, the module asks students to design and create 3D-printed speculative anatomies—structures that explore how the body may evolve, adapt,

King’s College London played a key role in the Anatomical Society Winter Meeting in 2018 through its involvement in the study “The Spectacle of Dissection: Investigating the Visuospatial Features of Anatomical Teaching in UK Medical Schools.” Researchers observed how spatial design, movement, and technology shape the learning experience inside the dissection room—revealing that teaching is

At King’s College London, the Synthetic Anatomy project is redefining how we think about the human body—by placing creativity at the centre of scientific learning. Hosted within King’s Culture’s Arts-Health programme, the project brings artists, designers, anatomists, and biomedical engineers into a shared space of experimentation. Rather than viewing anatomy as a fixed, strictly scientific
