  The Embryo Development is a comprehensive study of the growth process of the human embryo. We aim to completely label and visualize the developmental anatomy of the human embryo.  
         
    The Visible EmbryoTM project at the Human Developmental Anatomy Centre (HDAC) offers a vast resource of microscopic sections of the human embryo from Stage 1 - 23. Using select embryos from the Carnegie Collection of 660 embryos, we aim to visualize the dynamics of tissue/organ growth. This project is part of CieMed's vision of multi-scale visulization and shape dynamics.

In addition to our collaboration with HDAC, a second research project in collaboration with the Dept. of Anatomy, National University of Singapore, and University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada to quantify and visualize the growth of the central nervous system is also underway.

News feature about our work on embryo development and anatomy visualization.
