Veterinary clinical sciences

Research on the etiopathogenesis, innovative diagnostic methods, and therapeutic treatments within the field of veterinary clinical disciplines, aimed at improving animal health and welfare.

Research activities in Veterinary Clinical Sciences focus on the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions of medical, surgical, and obstetric-gynecological/andrological interest. They include studies on imaging and laboratory diagnostics, forensic medicine, veterinary legislation, animal protection and welfare, anesthetic and resuscitation protocols, as well as research on biomaterials, tissue engineering, experimental and regenerative surgery, and studies in perinatology, fertility, cellular differentiation, and reproductive biotechnologies.
