Research Interest/Laboratory Efforts

My research involves the compilation from the worlds literature data regarding human anatomic variation. The data is obtained from French, Ger-man, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and other sources. It will be used to produce five compact disks. The subject matter of 5 disks is: 1) Muscle variations, 2) Cardiovascular variations, 3) Nervous system variations, 4) Organ (other) variations, and 5) Skeletal vari-ation.
