Bruce M CarlsonBruce M. Carlson, MD, PhD, is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology in the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor. He served as chair of that department from 1998-2000. He is also Research Profesor Emeritus in the school's Institute of Gerontology, of which he was the director from 2000 to 2003.

We have spoken about bringing in a co-author and he is open for this to happen for the 7th edition when he has had time to find someone suitable. Read More Read Less
