From Mosquitoes to Medical Students, Tiffany Carpenetti Brings Curiosity and Care to the Anatomy Lab

Tiffany Carpenetti, PhD, describes herself pretty simply.  “I’m just a big nerd.” 

It’s an apt description for a woman who can talk enthusiastically about the beauty of a well-dissected network of intestinal arteries or the intricacy of the human hand. But before Carpenetti became an anatomist, the subject of her fascination was considerably smaller: mosquitoes.
