Research

Our research contributes to solutions to important society challenges such as antibiotic resistance, food safety and lifestyle diseases. We develop animal models, which are used to improve animal welfare and treatment and prevention of diseases for both animals and humans. Our department comprises eight sections described below.

Animal Health and Welfare

promote disease control and animal welfare from a population- and society oriented perspective.

Biomedicine

In the Section for Biomedicine, we use experimental models to study human and veterinary diseases in mammals.

Bacteria and Viruses

Our goal is to enhance the understanding of bacteria and viruses of veterinary importance for their ability to infect animals and via colonization be transmitted to humans through food and the environment in a One Health perspective. 

Parasitology and Pathobiology

Our research focuses on neurodegenerative disorders, electrophysiology, the cardiovascular system, biomechanics, animal welfare, disease modeling, pathogenesis assessment, veterinary diagnostics, parasites, and infections affecting both humans and animals, including fish.
