Professor Scott Border B.Sc (Hons) N.T.F, F.A.S, S.F.H.E.A is Head of Anatomy, within The College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow. Professor Border trained as a behavioural neuroscientist, with an interest in the neural correlates of learning and memory. Having taught gross anatomy to medical students for 16 years, (mainly focussing on clinical neuroanatomy and head and neck anatomy) at Southampton, he is now leading anatomy education at the University of Glasgow. His main areas of interest focus on innovative approaches to anatomy education. Working with students as partners in anatomical education is a major investment of his time and this work has been recognised with a National Teaching Fellowship from Advance H.E in 2019.
Professor Paul M. Rea is Professor of Digital and Anatomical Education at the University of Glasgow. He is Director of Innovation, Engagement and Enterprise within the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. He is also a Senate Assessor for Student Conduct, Council Member on Senate and coordinates the day-to-day running of the Body Donor Program and is a Licensed Teacher of Anatomy, licensed by the Scottish Government.
He is qualified with a medical degree (MBChB), a MSc (by research) in craniofacial anatomy/surgery, a PhD in neuroscience, the Diploma in Forensic Medical Science (DipFMS), and an MEd with Merit (Learning and Teaching in Higher Education). He is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, professional member of the Institute of Medical Illustrators (appointed recently as a Fellow of the Institute of Medical Illustrators) and a registered medical illustrator with the Academy for Healthcare Science.
Paul has published widely and presented at many national and international meetings, including invited talks. He has been the lead Editor for Biomedical Visualisation over 12 published volumes and is the founding editorfor this book series. This has resulted in almost almost 90,000 downloads across these volumes, with contributions from over 400 different authors, across approximately 100 institutions from 19 countries across the globe. He is Associate Editor for the European Journal of Anatomy and has reviewed for 25 different journals/publishers. He is the Public Engagement and Outreach lead for anatomy coordinating collaborative projects with the Glasgow Science Centre, NHS and Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. Paul is also a STEM ambassador and has visited numerous schools to undertake outreach work.
His research involves a long-standing strategic partnership with the School of Simulation and Visualisation The Glasgow School of Art. This has led to multi-million pound investment in creating world leading 3D digital datasets to be used in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching to enhance learning and assessment. This successful collaboration resulted in the creation of the world's first taught MSc Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy combining anatomy and digital technologies. The Institute of Medical Illustrators also accredits it. It has created college-wide, industry, multi-institutional and NHS research linked projects for students.
Dr. Iain D. Keenan, B.Sc., (Hons.), Ph.D., M.Med.Ed., S.F.H.E.A., N.T.F., F.A.S is a Senior Lecturer in Anatomy within the School of Medicine, Newcastle University , U.K.. Iain has been interested in the visualisation of three-dimensional morphology since his PhD training and post-doctoral fellowships in developmental biology. Iain has since taught gross anatomy, histology, and embryology for medical, dental, physician associates, medical sciences and healthcare degree programmes at Newcastle University for more than 10 years. Iain has numerous leadership and mentoring roles in educational research and scholarship at Newcastle University and leads a programme of pedagogic research with student partners, colleagues, and international collaborators. His research involves development and investigation of digital visualisation and art-based learning activities. His innovative approaches support student observation and understanding of challenging three-dimensional and spatial concepts in anatomy. He has previously authored five chapters in the Biomedical Visualisation series and his wide-ranging contributions to anatomical education have been recognised in the award of a National Teaching Fellowship (2020) and Fellowship of the Anatomical Society (2021).
