Lucy E. Hyde

Lucy graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Anatomy from the University of Liverpool, with a passion for head and neck anatomy, and in particular the human skull.
Throughout this time, Lucy not only had a keen interest in human anatomy, but continued an ongoing passion for illustration, from both a historical and modern day perspective, and the many ways to visualise and communicate medical and anatomical information.

After graduating from her BSc, Lucy undertook an MSc in Medical Art at the University of Dundee, combining her interest in both specialities. Here she gained many skills in classical and more modern visualisation techniques, whilst retaining a particular interest in facial depictions and reconstructions, and public communication. She also worked for a time as a freelance illustrator for scientific articles.

Lucy joined the University of Bristol in 2016, and continues to develop her passion for both art, head and neck anatomy, and the integration of artistic techniques into anatomy. Here she contributes to many of the schools degree programmes, postgraduate training, and the medical and dental professional programmes, but most notably the BSc in Applied Anatomy, in gross anatomy, dissection, and visualisation units, and running research projects on historical facial reconstruction and depiction, life drawing in anatomical education and more.

In other roles, Lucy also works as Admissions Tutor and Senior Pastoral Tutor for the BSc Applied Anatomy degree programme.
