The Pathobiology Graduate Program offers an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together multiple departments to deliver comprehensive PhD training focused on animal diseases (both infectious and non-infectious), food safety protocols, security measures, policy development, and production animal healthcare. Faculty research within the Departments of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology and Clinical Sciences spans specialized fields such as Infectious Diseases (covering Zoonotic and Transboundary Diseases), Bacteriology, Epidemiology, Immunology, Parasitology, Pharmacology, Virology, Companion Animal Medicine, Comparative Biomedical Sciences, Food Animal Health Systems, Food Safety Protocols, and Translational Medicine. Collaborating faculty from additional K-State departments—including Anatomy and Physiology, Animal Sciences, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Biology, the Biosecurity Research Institute, Entomology, and the Olathe campus—further enrich the program. Pathobiology Program faculty are globally recognized for their expertise in transboundary disease control, swine virology, bacterial pathogenesis, vaccine research, vector-borne illnesses, parasitology, epidemiological studies, and food safety systems.
