Susan Standring is an Emeritus Professor of Anatomy at King’s College London (having previously been Head of the Department of Anatomy at KCL), a Fellow of King’s College London and an Honorary Fellow of both the Anatomical Society and the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSEng). I taught medical, dental and biomedical science undergraduates and postgraduate surgical trainees for over 40 years and continue to champion anatomy as a fundamental component of medical and dental curricula in my retirement.

My research (as Susan Hall) was predominantly in the field of peripheral nerve repair and Schwann cell biology in primary demyelination/ remyelination and in chronic denervation: I published over 200 papers and chapters and was the recipient of numerous research grants. I am a past President of the Anatomical Society and of the Peripheral Nerve Society and the current Editor-in-Chief of Gray’s Anatomy (39^th – 42^nd  editions) and Joint Lead Editor of Gray’s Surgical Anatomy. I am a Trustee of the Hunterian Collection at the Royal College of Surgeons of England and President of the Hunterian Society. I have twice been the recipient of the Wood Jones Medal of the RCSEng.
