Overview of current research

Research in Anatomy and Histology is centred around its research groups, many of which are also part of the Bosch Institute. Anatomy and Histology provides an array of research resources to its staff.

Staff participate in the Anderson Stuart seminars and supervise a wide range of Honours and Postgraduate research projects.
