The Unit for Genetics and Animal Breeding at Vetmeduni is home to a variety of research groups that combine state-of-the-art genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, cell biology, mass spectrometry, functional genetics and population genetics. Our research explores how genetic information shapes cellular functions, organismal traits and evolutionary processes. By uncovering the molecular mechanisms through which genetic variants and mutations cause disease and drive adaptation, we aim to generate fundamental biological insights and pave the way for future diagnostic and therapeutic innovations.
