Animal Pathology and veterinary forensic unit currently works on routine diagnosis of infectious and nutritional outbreaks that originate in animal production, mainly pigs, small ruminants and aquaculture. We actively participate in the description of the pathological mechanisms that occur in the development of new vaccines and drug treatments , both experimentally and farms, identifying potential adverse effects.
Our group has wide experience in the field of experimental cancer models both the histopathological and immunohistochemical studies, as well as the application of new diagnostic tools such as PROFILING AND IMAGING (MALDI TOF). Actually, our major effort is focused on the development and application of these new technologies to the field of pathology image.
