Abstract

The Comprehensive Anatomy Research Project is a multidisciplinary and multicenter study focusing on the biology and anatomy of animals across numerous orders.  The Project incorporates advanced imaging, novel preservation and other new and-well established technologies to help uncover anatomy in both disease and health.  The ultimate goal is that findings are relayed through scientific meetings, peer-reviewed publications, and other formats that help advance our understanding of anatomy and biology. This presentation will cover various ongoing projects, how animals are included and serve as an invitation for others, including students, interns, residents and practicing veterinarians, to get involved in research.
