Overview
![Lab members performing work on a cadaver](/sites/default/files/2022-03/human-anatomic-research-lab-747x560.jpeg)
The Duke Human Fresh Tissue Laboratory gives researchers in the Division of Plastic, Maxillofacial, and Oral Surgery opportunities to make unique contributions to human anatomic research.
From anatomy atlases to 3-D images of the human body, medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty have the latest technologies available to them in this state-of-the-art laboratory.
Findings from this work are directly applicable to plastic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, hand surgery, cranio-maxillofacial surgery, and other subspecialties.
