THE HUMAN
FASCIAL NET
PLASTINATION
PROJECT

Like world explorers mapping uncharted territory, a group of scientists,
researchers, therapists, and anatomy enthusiasts set out in January 2018 to
bring us our first look at fascia in a way it's never been seen. Their mission?
To create the world's first 3D human fascial net plastinated forms.
Led by fascia research scientist Robert Schleip, clinical anatomist John Sharkey,
professor of anatomy Carla Stecco, and director of anatomy and plastination Vladimir
Chereminskiy, the Fascial Net Plastination Project (FNPP) is taking place in collaboration
with the Plastinarium in Guben, Germany, the world headquarters for the internationally
acclaimed Body Worlds exhibition. Now, these pioneering methods that brought Body
Worlds to the public will help bring fascial anatomy education to the masses as well.
