Section for Parasitology and Pathobiology (PAP)
PAP is dedicated to improving human and animal health through;
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.
Our educational initiatives are central to both the Veterinary and Biology-Biotechnology curricula. We equip students for careers in research, diagnostics, and clinical practice, offering advanced training for master's and PhD students at a high international standard. Students are welcome to contact us about the available projects.
Veterinary Contingency. We contribute to public services by providing advisory support for government agencies. The DK-VET Veterinary Pathology Service performs pathological examinations for the Danish Veterinary Consortium: https://dkvet.dk as part of the the Veterinary Preparedness, including necropsies of production animals, hobby animals, zoo animals, and wildlife suspected of having notifiable diseases. For more information, visit https://patologivagten.dk and the wildlife health monitoring website: www.vildtsundhed.dk.
Forensic pathology examinations. We perform autopsies of animals in connection with police reports, insurance reports, etc., where the issuance of forensic documentation is required. All inquiries regarding forensic pathology examinations should be sent to the mailbox: www.Forensisk@sund.ku.dk
