LIVE DISSECTION EVENTS FOR SCHOOLS, COLLEGES & SIXTH FORMS
ABOUT THE DISSECTION GUY
Sam Piri, known as The Dissection Guy, is a qualified teacher (QTS) with over 15 years of experience in delivering hands-on anatomy and physiology education. A pioneer in practical dissection-based learning, Sam has brought anatomy to life for over 1.3 million students across schools, colleges, sixth forms, universities, and NHS trusts throughout the UK.
As the only academic in the country offering in-person dissection workshops matched directly to major UK exam specifications, Sam delivers an unmatched educational experience designed to inspire students and support teachers with truly immersive learning.
Formerly Director of the now-closed ITAE Group, Sam’s innovative work attracted widespread media attention, with features on the BBC, Discovery Channel, CNN, Fox News, ITV, The Times, The Guardian, The Independent, Daily Mail, and more. He has shared stages with leading experts including Lord Robert Winston and Professor Brian Cox. In 2017, the BBC’s Head of Science Programming described Sam’s delivery as "exceptional and compelling."
Sam received investment from BBC Dragons Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden, scaling ITAE Group nationally over nine years. Following the long-term impacts of the pandemic, the business closed but Sam’s mission continues. Now operating independently, he works face-to-face with students across the UK, reigniting their curiosity for anatomy, health, and clinical careers.
With a personal track record that includes over 12 full human body dissections, 32,000+ specimen dissections, and events delivered at more than 2,000 institutions, Sam’s programmes are both academically rigorous and unforgettable.
From GCSE students to Home Office Counter Terrorism Pathologists, Sam offers a hands-on experience like no other.

2025-2026 EVENTS
You’re probably reading this because a colleague has recommended Sam and his programmes—or you’ve already witnessed the impact his dissection sessions have on student progress.
New for this academic year, Sam has developed four targeted dissection events, each designed for students at different stages of study and fully aligned with major UK curriculum specifications. Written and delivered by Sam himself (QTS), every session is academically rigorous, with built-in stretch, challenge, and differentiation to ensure all learners are engaged, inspired, and making measurable progress.
Book your event visit now and experience the UK’s leading dissection workshops, brought directly to your classroom.
It’s no surprise that 4 out of 5 schools, colleges, and sixth forms rebook Sam year after year, because once you've seen the results, it’s hard to go back.
"Exceptional, the students get so much from this event. We have been working with Sam -The Dissection Guy this year and have rebooked for 2026!"
