Tracey Wilkinson joined the University 麻豆精选 in February 2023 as the Sands Cox Chair of Anatomy. She previously worked for several years in the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification in Dundee, where she became familiar with the Thiel embalming technique.

She is medically qualified with a PhD in biomechanics and anatomy, and has worked in many educational institutions in several countries, including parts of Africa, Germany and at least five years in all four of the UK’s home countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Her main interest lies in learning and teaching, with many years of experience in higher education, mostly involving undergraduate and postgraduate medical, dental and anatomy students, as well as several allied medical disciplines.

She has won teaching awards in three different universities, and ran the Anatomy Training Programme, which develops young anatomy educators, for the Anatomical Society and American Association for Anatomy from 2014 to 2022.

She is currently the President of the Anatomical Society (founded 1887), only the fourth woman to hold this position. She has published on a variety of subjects, including medical and anatomy education, biomechanics, clinical anatomy, functional anatomy, Thiel embalming and human variation.
