The Department of Pathobiology conducts research across multiple disciplines, including animal pathogens and their host interactions, emerging zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, immunological and genetic factors in disease resistance, cancer mechanisms, and inflammatory conditions. Our studies encompass farm animals, laboratory specimens, aquatic life, wildlife, zoo species, and pets, examining everything from molecular processes to population-level impacts. We provide research-focused MSc (2-year) and PhD (4-year) programs for both veterinary and non-veterinary professionals across all departmental specialties. For DVM holders, we offer specialized veterinary training through 3-year DVSc and 1-year Graduate Diploma programs.
