About Us

A Latin reminder of purpose, Mortui vivos docent (the deceased teach the living), is found etched in anatomy laboratories worldwide. Profound as they may be, these words vastly understate the value of and the need for human anatomical material to further education and research. We are living in an age of accelerated medical learning and increasing knowledge. This knowledge compounds daily and ultimately improves the quality of life of all people. During these times when medical dreams are becoming reality, more anatomical material is needed to meet the demands of medical education and research. The Body Donor Program administered by the University of Utah Department of Neurobiology is one of few programs in the Intermountain West dedicated to providing anatomical material for the ever-growing educational and research needs of medical science.
