Helle Tapfer is one of the most renowned Estonian anatomists. Her devotion to anatomy is remarkable – during the 50 years as a lecturer in anatomy and researcher, she has done extraordinarily much. She is a tireless initiator and generator of new ideas. Her characteristics are positivity, cheerfulness and the ability to care about people around her – to understand, encourage and praise them. H. Tapfer was born in a family of employees in Tallinn on 26 November 1937. In 1956 she completed Pärnu Secondary School No. 1 and became a student of dentistry at the Faculty of Medicine at Tartu State University. Aft er graduation, she had to choose between anatomy or histology, as there were no vacancies in dentistry. She was fascinated by anatomy, as this discipline connects all the areas of medicine; therefore, she became an assistant at the Chair of Anatomy. From 1966–1969, she was a postgraduate student of the same speciality. She successfully defended her candidate’s dissertation On intraorgan blood vessels and their relations with the renal pelvicalyceal system. Her later research was also related to the renal pelvicalyceal system and the relations of its architectonics to branching of blood vessels in adults and embryos and on the basis of comparative anatomical material, which renewed the views on determination of renal segments (in contrast to generally accepted theory of arterial segments). Th e results in the areas of renal segments and resection have found practical application in urology. From 1969, H. Tapfer worked as an associate professor at the Chair of Anatomy at the University of Tartu until 2017. During this time, H. Tapfer held diff erent positions. In 1995, she was holder of the Chair of Anatomy; from 1998–2002, she headed the Institute of Anatomy. Th is period also included several essential events for Estonian medicine.
