Research

Dr. Cork is interested in digital imaging and 3-D reconstruction. From 2000 to 2012 he collaborated with Dr. Ray Gasser on the Virtual Human Embryo Project. where he developed software for the display of human embryo serial sections on CDs and DVDs and reconstructed embryos from all 23 Carnegie stages. Animations and 3D reconstructions are collected together on the HEIRLOOM website, which aims to increase the educational and research value of the Carnegie collection of serially sectioned human embryos (http://virtualhumanembryo.lsuhsc.edu).
