At the Emory School of Medicine's Department of Dermatology, I provide specialized instruction to both residents and faculty on the clinical and surgical facets of hair restoration. I regularly host department members at the Anderson Center for Hair, guiding them through hands-on hair restoration surgeries and consultations. I discuss with them both non-surgical and surgical treatments for hair loss.

Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS, ABHRS is the founder and chief surgeon at the Anderson Center for Hair. Dr. Anderson is the only surgeon worldwide who holds a board certificate from three different medical boards and who has practiced exclusively in the field of hair restoration surgery for over 18 years. Dr. Anderson has earned and currently holds a Board Certificate issued by the following three boards: American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ENT Surgery). The Anderson Center for Hair is the first practice in the State of Georgia to offer robotic hair restoration surgical procedures using the ARTAS Robotic-assisted Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) System. Since 2016 Dr. Ken Anderson is one of just two clinical trainers for the Restoration Robotics Corporation, the company that manufacturers the ARTAS system. Physicians in the eastern half of the USA who purchase a new ARTAS system spend time with Dr. Anderson at his center learning how to correctly use the advanced surgical robot. In 2004 Dr. Anderson performed the first FUE Megasession in the world, and published the very first paper documenting this achievement in the world wide medical literature. Dr. Anderson is an established international authority on both the Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) and the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) techniques of hair restoration surgery, and has delivered scholarly presentations to physician audiences both nationally and internationally. Dr. Anderson's focus is on natural appearing results and outstanding patient care. He intentionally limits the volume of procedures at the Anderson Center for Hair. To Dr. Anderson, hair restoration is art. He relies on his training in both the fine arts as well as Facial Plastic Surgery to provide his patients with unparalleled service, quality, and peace-of-mind.

One of 6 surgeons worldwide tasked with writing the questions for the written board exam administered to physicians seeking to become board certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. I create written questions that become part of the 4 hour written examination surgeon candidates must take as part of the board certification process. Successful candidates who pass the exam are deemed "board certified" in the specialty of hair restoration surgery by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery.

The American Academy of Hair Restoration Surgery was founded in 2009 with the goal of providing standardized training and education in the field of hair restoration surgery. Licensed physicians undergo executive training courses in all aspects of the specialty of hair restoration surgery, with at-home online modules, in addition to hands-on clinical training on real patients. Topics covered include everything from patient selection and consultation, tips on adding hair restoration surgery to an existing practice, and clinical training on all aspects of hair restoration surgery, including the ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration Surgery system (FUE), linear strip hair transplant surgery (FUT), platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), microneedling, scalp micropigmentation (SMP), etc. Courses start Fall of 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.www.AAHRS.org

Ann Arbor, Mi, Us

NIH-supported grant to conduct tissue engineering research in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Michigan. I spent 18 months of protected research time in the 4th year of my 7 years at the University of Michigan developing tissue engineered injectable cartilage implants. This was accomplished by combining biodegradable liquid polymer hydrogels with chondrocytes in animal models. Other projects included tissue engineered injectable bone implants using liquid hydrogels and osteoblasts. Obtained substantial expertise culturing cells in special media in large incubators, which has helped me to succeed in the field of hair restoration surgery, as I'm a big believer in bio-enhanced hair restoration surgery as a result of these research experiences.Research efforts resulted in several publications in high-impact journals, including the world's most prestigious peer-reviewed science publication: Nature.Publications from this research fellowship:Lee KY, Peters MC, Anderson KW, Mooney DJ: Controlled Growth Factor Release fromSynthetic Extracellular Matrices.

Early in the days of supercomputers, I used machines from Sun Microsystems® to engage in a series of experiments in theoretical chemistry, under the direction of Dr. Ken Merz in the Chemistry Department at Penn State University. This was a National Science Foundation funded research experience, and resulted in a publication in a peer-reviewed journal. I studied the mechanism of action of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in a computational, theoretical manner, measuring force fields between atoms at the active site of the enzyme. Specifically we studied the role of zinc in the mechanism of action of the enzyme.Hoops SC, Anderson KW, Merz KM: Force field design for metalloproteins.

Worked hard to prevent the other employees from eating too much of the popcorn or burning the theater to the ground with the hot dog grill (eg: responsible for the management of the concession stand). Chief inspector and repairman for movie seats in a 12 theater complex using a flashlight, a screwdriver, and common sense.

Commissioned by my father to design and construct an elevated backyard deck measuring 70 feet by 40 feet, about 4 feet off the ground. Plans included a built-in Jacuzzi hot tub flush with the surface of the deck, 3 sets of stairs, a wooden fence and benches all around, a lighted dining area, and lattice work all around to hide the underneath areas. I led a team consisting of my younger brother and a semi-willing neighbor to build this gorgeous monstrosity over the course of the entire summer. I relied only on common sense and uneducated assumptions to complete the project. All cement used was mixed by hand using shovels in wheelbarrows. All 16,000 nails were driven by hand using hammers. Each of the dozens of post holes were created by hand with a post-hole digger. Michael Anderson Construction Industries was determined to keep the costs to a minimum, so the only power tool that was used was a table saw. This deck is still standing, and can be seen from space by astronauts on the International Space Station.

6AM paper route in Toronto, Canada. Using only a canvas bag I delivered papers to a route of 46 customers in a neighborhood a mile away from my house. Temperatures in the winter would dip well below 0 degrees Fahrenheit routinely in the winter. Also responsible for collecting monies owed by each of the 46 customers and ensuring it's delivery to my manager every 2 weeks. In Toronto Canada one cannot just throw a paper on the driveway and consider it "delivered". One must walk up to the front door of each house and place it in the special rack under the mailbox, right by the doorbell, folded perfectly.
