Human Anatomy

This course is a comprehensive introduction to the structure of the human body. It will provide a key foundation for studies of health sciences. It will also provide an important foundation for students interested in non-human biology, by using the best known vertebrate (man) to show how an organism is structured. The course will focus on macroscopic anatomy and function, but it will offer basic notions of cellular structure. Some aspects of evolutionary history and clinical application will also be discussed.

international workshop

We were envited to participate this October in the CSU International E./P. petersi Workshop. Researchers from several parts of the Americas discussed genetic, behavioral, anatomical, acoustic and genomic aspects of speciation in a tropical model frog.

Dr. Gridi-Papp presented on the vocal and auditory mechanisms in the genus and discussed near-future collaborations with other labs.
