He currently serves as co-editor of Clinical Anatomy and founding editor-in-chief of Translational Research in Anatomy. His leadership in the field has been recognized through his election as president of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists in 2017. Dr. R. Shane Tubbs is Neurosurgery Professor; Structural & Cellular Biology Professor and Anatomical Research Director, CNRC; Surgical Anatomy Director at Tulane School of Medicine His "reverse translational anatomy” lab works researches clinical/surgical problems through anatomical studies. This investigative paradigm has resulted in over 1,500 peer reviewed publications. Dr. Tubbs' lab has made novel discoveries in human anatomy and many anatomical feasibility studies from his lab have been used by surgeons from around the world. He has been a visiting professor to major institutions in the U.S. and worldwide.

4 Stars! "...a comparative atlas using the highly acclaimed Netter dissection plates to compare with an actual dissection done to illustrate the accuracy of the Netter image.... useful in any number of gross anatomy courses whether they are prosection- or dissection-based, and many are now a combination of these.... The book will be a beneficial companion to a typical image-based atlas.... [It] presents the images at similar magnifications which makes the identification of smaller structures easier. The index is extremely useful for students looking for an image of a structure or region. In addition, there is a useful appendix of non-colorized dissections to help identify structures. It reduced the number of leader lines on each image making them more user-friendly for students rather than overpowering them.... Overall, the quality of the book is exceptional and will give prosection-based programs, in particular, a really useful and powerful tool to enhance student learning."
