Gray's Anatomy

Dr. R. Shane Tubbs is Neurosurgery Professor; Structural & Cellular Biology Professor and Anatomical Research Director, CNRC; Surgical Anatomy Director at Tulane School of Medicine His "reverse translational anatomy” lab works researches clinical/surgical problems through anatomical studies. This investigative paradigm has resulted in over 1,500 peer reviewed publications. Dr. Tubbs' lab has made novel discoveries in human anatomy and many anatomical feasibility studies from his lab have been used by surgeons from around the world. He has been a visiting professor to major institutions in the U.S. and worldwide. Dr. Tubbs has authored/edited over 50 books including Gray's Anatomy Review, Gray's Clinical Photographic Dissector of the Human Body, Netter's Introduction to Clinical Procedures, Anatomy for Plastic Surgery of the Face, Head, and Neck, Nerves and Nerve Injuries, A History of Human Anatomy, and Bergman's Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation. He is an editor for the 41st and 42nd editions of Gray's Anatomy, the 5th through 7th editions of Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy and is the editor-in-chief of the journal Clinical Anatomy, which is the official journal of the American and British Associations of Clinical Anatomists. Dr. Tubbs was recently named chair of the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies.

Review of the previous edition:"There is no book to compare to Gray's Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice. This is a unique, all-encompassing treatise on the anatomy of the human body and the clinical relationship of structure to function. Its continual evolution embracing new information and diagnostic techniques will keep this book forever relevant and at the apex of anatomical publications." --© Doody’s Review Service, 2021, Brian R.
