Advanced Anatomical Services (AAS) offers on-site assistance with anatomical and biomedical research projects, most frequently to principal investigators and other researchers at academic institutions, hospitals and biotechnology companies. Typical services include assistance with the assessment, planning or practical implementation of research projects. Most of these involve the use of human or animal materials for the purpose of testing novel biomedical applications, experimental surgical instruments and procedures, as well as other innovative biotechnologies.

Along with the dissections for teaching purposes described under Teaching Services, AAS performs similar dissections for researchers examining individual anatomical structures and can provide specific dissections of fresh or fixed anatomical materials. These dissections may involve the isolation and harvesting of organ systems, neurovascular structures or musculoskeletal tissues from human, primate, rodent or other species. Dissections of frozen specimens such as brain or other anatomical tissues can also be performed, as may be required for some functional genomic research projects.

Assistance with research projects varies greatly, but may include such activities
as harvesting and imaging neurological structures of the human or rodent brain. |

Research dissections may involve procedures such as harvesting
fresh animal tissues or injecting the vasculature of the brain. | | | |

Additional examples of AAS dissection services include procedures
such as exposing nervous structures or extracting skeletal material.
