Heather Jamniczky, PhD

Associate Professor, Department of Cell Biology & Anatomy, Cumming School of Medicine
​
Academic Lead, Teaching and Learning Research, Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning

 A zoologist by training, my research takes two directions. I am interested in the evolution and development of complex phenotypes, with a particular focus on the skeleton. I work with a variety of vertebrates, from turtles to mice to fish, and my lab is situated in the Cumming School of Medicine.

​My teaching responsibilities include human gross anatomy across the undergraduate, medical, and graduate curricula, and I focus my research on teaching and learning around visual representation of three-dimensional structures, spatial learning, and equity, diversity and inclusion in health professions education. I am seconded to the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning. 

I am on Google Scholar here.
