Jamie Decker, who founded Experience Anatomy in 2016, visited Discovery Place Science in Charlotte to see Body Worlds created by Dr. Gunther von Hagens. Jamie had an interest in anatomy ahead of the trip, but having the opportunity to experience an extensive exhibition showcasing plastinated human cadavers and specimens stirred something within her she didn’t know was there: passion.

In college, Jamie studied Funeral Service and Mortuary Science. At a plastination conference in Toledo, she received a personal invitation from von Hagens to study under his direction at Gubener Plastinate GmbH. She spent the following three years commuting between Germany and the US to complete an intensive internship that developed and refined her self-efficacy as an anatomist and educator, and significantly extended her knowledge of plastination.

To this day, Jamie has the distinction of being the only American who has extensively trained under von Hagens’ at his plastination company.

In 2015 Jamie reengaged with Discovery Place Science to serve as a scientist-in-residence during the six-month run of Body Worlds & The Cycle of Life. Within five months of the exhibition closing, in October 2016 Jamie established Experience Anatomy.

Today, Experience Anatomy encompasses a fully-equipped training venue and mobile wet lab, deploys anatomy resources of unrivaled quality worldwide, and engages a team of expert Anatomists and Program Specialists. Serving numerous industries with courses of exceptional standard, Experience Anatomy has the power to revolutionize health and life science education.
