At Physiology & Pathophysiology, we bridge the vital gap between basic science and clinical veterinary medicine. In both our research and our teaching, our unit operates at this essential cross-section, aiming to translate biological discoveries into real-world advancements for animal and human health. 

Our research centers on the mechanisms of connective tissue regeneration, using comparative approaches and transferring naturally occurring disease to the cell culture dish. By exploring these foundational processes—particularly through the lens of adult stem cell biology, cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions—we aim to unlock new frontiers in regenerative medicine and develop innovative therapeutic interventions for various species. 

In teaching, we cover how life functions at every level, demonstrating the core principles of healthy physiological systems across different species. Our goal is to provide the students with the critical knowledge needed to truly understand the mechanisms of disease and therapeutic approaches, to educate successful professionals. 

Whether in the lab or the lecture hall, our unit serves as a dynamic hub, connecting foundational scientific knowledge with the ultimate goal of improving patient care and animal welfare.
