Research Interests: Functional
and clinical anatomy
Teaching: Veterinary Anatomy
Dr. G. M. Constantinescu is investigating
the gross anatomy of domestic and laboratory
animals in general, focusing on the locomotor
apparatus, the peripheral and autonomic
nervous system, as well as on the anatomical
nomenclature. The latter work was used to
write and illustrate two sections of the
"Illustrated Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria."
He is one of the five members of the Editorial
Committee for the 5th edition of the Nomina
Anatomica Veterinaria, and the only one
representing the two Americas.
In addition, he maintained his interest
in the areas of congenital malformations
in mammals and animation in cardiology.
Dr. G. Constantinescu is also a medical
illustrator; he wrote and illustrated his
own books "Clinical Dissection Guide
for Large Animals" and "Guide
to Regional Ruminant Anatomy Based on the
Dissection of the Goat" and "Clinical
Anatomy for Small Animal Practitioners",
the last one translated into Portuguese,
Japanese and French. As co-author he contributed
with text, and illustrated several other
books in English and in Romanian, some published,
others in press.
