About Connor
Dr. Connor Blythe serves as a Lecturer in Anatomy within the School of Health at the University of the Sunshine Coast. As an anatomical scientist, he possesses extensive experience as an educator and researcher. His academic background includes a PhD in Anatomy from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), a Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Honours) from QUT, and a Bachelor of Science in Biological and Human Biomolecular Sciences from QUT. Blythe's teaching spans multiple universities and a medical school, encompassing human donor dissection, regional and sectional anatomy, neuroanatomy, medical imaging, histology, systematic anatomy, embryology, and specific courses such as LFS122 Human Anatomy.
Dr. Blythe's research specializations center on advancing anatomical knowledge through contemporary imaging techniques, including ultrasound, computed tomography, and plain radiography, with a particular emphasis on anatomical variation and clinical outcomes relevant to allied health professionals. His PhD investigated paediatric skeletal development and bone strength estimation using medical imaging and quantitative ultrasound. Key publications include "Quantifying the ossification and fusion of the calcaneal apophysis using computed tomography" (Journal of Anatomy, 2022), "Investigating the Ossification and Fusion of the Fifth Metatarsal Apophysis Using Computed Tomography and Plain Radiography" (Foot & Ankle International, 2026), "Identifying Calcaneal Anatomical Regions of Interest (ROI) for Quantitative Ultrasound Application in Subadults" (Calcified Tissue International, 2022), and his doctoral thesis "Recommendations for improved quantitative ultrasound application in paediatrics using the calcaneus" (2023). He has earned the Best Clinical Anatomy Research Poster award at the Australian and New Zealand Association of Clinical Anatomists (ANZACA) conference in December 2024 and the Queensland University of Technology Postgraduate Research Award (QUTPRA) for exceptional research potential. Blythe is a member of ANZACA, the American Association of Anatomists (AAA), and the Society for Craniofacial Genetics & Developmental Biology (SCGDB).
