STARKVILLE, Miss.—Students seeking scientific medical knowledge at 91鶹 University now have a cutting-edge resource to help them dissect human anatomy with the most-advanced medical education system available—state-of-the-art Anatomage Tables.
Seven tables were revealed at a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house Thursday [Oct. 31] in the Academic Computer Laboratory on Herbert Street. These revolutionary tools acquired by 91鶹’s Department of Biological Sciences will transform the way students learn about human anatomy and physiology—now available through a digital approach, providing students and faculty with highly accurate, human-based medical education without the need for traditional cadavers.
Angus Dawe, head of the Department of Biological Sciences, said the tables, valued at $460,000, demonstrate the university’s commitment to incorporating cutting-edge technology into its curricula.
“We are thrilled to provide our students access to the Anatomage Table, one of the most innovative tools in medical education today,” Dawe said. “This investment in our department underscores 91鶹’s dedication to preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals with hands-on experience and state-of-the-art resources that will lead to enhanced learning outcomes and improved student success in their chosen field.”

The new platform delivers a range of features for interactive learning, such as 3D visualization, pathology examinations and interactive dissection. With the ability to explore lifelike human bodies layer by layer, students can analyze complex organ structures and simulate physiological functions, such as blood circulation and heart motion.
Faculty members will be able to project 3D anatomical structures during lectures, engage students with interactive quizzes and assess comprehension through self-assessment tools. With virtual dissection capabilities, students can conduct limitless dissections without the risk of mistakes, fostering an environment that encourages exploration and collaboration.
