Research

Vetmeduni’s research expertise encompasses a wide variety of fields ranging from physiological processes as well as molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of diseases, epidemiology and systems medicine to human-animal interactions and ethics. Vetmeduni stands for a holistic approach to viewing the influences of genetics, epigenetics, behaviour and environmental factors.

For a basic understanding of diseases and possible therapies or prophylaxis, the findings obtained from animal patients, such as livestock, assistance animals or pets, are supplemented by findings from human medicine and model organisms (comparative medicine) and by findings obtained from zoo and wild animals (evolutionary medicine).
