The research focus in Human Anatomy at UCD currently involves but is not limited to: * Tissue Engineering including 3D Printing in Anatomical Science and Interventional Medicine, * Biological/Physical Anthropology * Neuroscience * Reproductive Medicine including Embryology and Assisted Reproduction. Example of Upcoming/Ongoing projects include: Applications of stereolithgraphy (3D printing with photopolymers) to Anatomy Chronicling human dental ontogeny in three-dimensions Early embryo-maternal communication as seen by live cell imaging. The one year full-time scholarship programme offers an €18,000 tax-free stipend along with payment of 75% of student fees.
