Physiology & Pathophysiology spans diverse functional levels in health and disease, from molecules and cells to organs, tissues and the whole organism. While our teaching covers all organ systems in companion animals and livestock, our research focuses on connective tissue regeneration and multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem cells. At the cross-section between basic research and the clinics, we integrate naturally occurring disease within our advanced in vitro models to enhance translational perspectives for animals and humans alike.
