Research foci
The Division of Veterinary Anatomy investigates the functional morphology of organs, tissues, cells and subcellular structures. The group's goal is to contribute to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, with the research organized around two main priorities:
1. Cellular mechanisms of normal and artificial skin and blood vessels in different animal species - under physiological conditions and after exposure to therapeutic substances or pathogens.
2. Interdisciplinary research in collaboration with other sub-disciplines of the Vetsuisse Faculty as well as with other faculties and institutions.
In addition, the division focuses on the development and application of microscopic techniques, including scanning and transmission electron microscopy, wide-field, confocal, and high-throughput microscopy, supplemented by machine learning methods.
The division actively promotes young scientists by supervising master's, doctoral, PhD, and postdoctoral projects.
