Área de Concentração e Linhas de Pesquisa

Assessment Area: Veterinary Medicine

Area of Concentration: Environmental and Experimental Pathology

Involves the ecological study of diseases, focusing on the concepts of environmental health and One Health. The elements that potentially affect health and diseases caused by pathogens and xenobiotics introduced into the environment by human action are considered. The studies developed aim to expand knowledge and understand not only the diagnosis of pathological conditions that involve interaction with the environment, but also the search for models of corrective or mitigating interventions, contributing to the sustainability of the planet.

Translational and Integrated Pathology

It involves studies focused on identifying and characterizing the etiopathogenesis of diseases of veterinary interest, revealing the connection between multiple factors, with an emphasis on environmental factors. This line of research is based on the One Health approach.

Ecotoxicology and Therapeutic Innovations

It addresses the understanding of environmental problems and their repercussions on animal health and welfare, as well as the proposal of mitigating tools, including innovative methods and products whose benefit goes beyond clinical improvement by generating a positive impact on the ecosystem that permeates the treated populations.
