President Elect 

Professor Abigail Tucker, (abigail.tucker@kcl.ac.uk), King's College London

As President Elect, I shadow the current President, and help promote the activities of the Society, and support anatomical sciences in all its forms.

I am a developmental biologist based in the Centre for Craniofacial and Regenerative Biology at King’s College London. I joined the Anatomical Society as a junior Lecturer in 2003 and served on council from 2014-2022, acting as Meeting’s officer. My research and teaching focuses on the formation of the vertebrate head, and how tissues interact to create functional structures. My group research how organs form during normal development and what goes wrong in the case of congenital birth defects, providing the mechanisms behind the defects to highlight potential new treatments and preventative strategies. The other main focus of the lab is how evolution shapes our faces and how an understanding of cranial evolution can explain why structures form in particular ways. I contribute to Gray’s Anatomy and Kaufman’s mouse atlas.
