Centered On Comparative Medicine
We’re focused on understanding the physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the function of body systems during health and disease, including animal models of human disease. There is a substantial representation of animal research in reproduction, clinical pharmacology, internal medicine, cardiovascular health and disease, comparative pathology, immunology and anesthesiology.
Center For Integrative Mammalian Research Focus Areas
We seek to understand the interconnectivity of basic cell biology, the immune system, and the delineation of body systems in health and disease.
Our Researchers Are Advancing Animal And Human Health
From working to understand the innate immune role of TRIM proteins in bovine macrophages to assembling a network of collaborators from across the globe to explore innovative ways of improving animal welfare and fertility.
- Animal Models for Human Diseases
- Animal Reproduction and Genetic Disorders
- Animal Physiology/Pharmacology/Toxicology
- Comparative Immunology
Our Faculty Have a Passion for Global Health
Our research team comprises faculty from across the globe—many with experience at international agencies. Students engage in research and benefit from being taught by research leaders in their field— helping them develop into career-ready graduates.
Meet Our Center Director, Dr. Aspinas Chapwanya, BVSc, BSc, MVM, PhD
Dr. Aspinas Chapwanya leads this Center, driving integrated human and animal research initiatives across a broad range of primarily non-infectious disease research including anesthesia and pain management, immune regulation, gene function, reproductive disorders, neurology and animal behavior, and in vitro and in vivo models of noninfectious human and animal diseases.
Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach across research centers, our faculty experts are advancing the body of knowledge in the fields of pathology, immunology, anesthesiology and theriogenology.
