Vic Spitzer, Director of the Center for Human Simulation and 
professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, will 
speak on March 11 at 1:30 p.m. in the Newcomb Hall Theater.

The center that Mr. Spitzer leads is an integral part of the 
nationwide Visible Human Project, the goal of which is to create 
a complete, three-dimensional, anatomically detailed 
representation of the human body. The long-term goal of the 
project is to apply this anatomical data to basic and clinical 
research, clinical practice, and teaching.

Dr. Spitzer's group has been working on visualizing and
manipulating (e.g. through virtual surgery) the digital human
models.  

Mr. Spitzer holds bachelor's degrees in chemistry and 
math-physics from the University of Southern Colorado, a 
master's in nuclear engineering and a doctorate in physical 
chemistry from the University of Illinois.  His talk is open to 
the public.
