Research groups

• Animal Welfare Science Centre

  We contribute to improved animal welfare as a world leading provider of expert information, advice and education underpinned by rigorous research.

• Asia-Pacific Centre for Animal Health

  The Asia Pacific Centre for Animal Health (APCAH) is an internationally focused research and research training centre that aims to optimise animal production and product quality through improved control of infectious agents.

• Bone and Muscle Cell Biology

  The Laboratory for Bone and Muscle Cell Biology studies regulation of the behaviour of bone, cartilage and muscle cells during development, regeneration and pathology.

• Centre for Equine Infectious Disease

  The Centre for Equine Infectious Disease is a major national resource for the study of equine diseases in Australia.

• Equine Orthopaedic Research Group

  Researchers employ computational modelling, epidemiological studies, detailed investigation of bone microstructure, and bone biomechanical properties to investigate the causes of musculoskeletal injury in athletic horses.

• One Health Research Group

  The One Health Research Group (OHRG) provides solutions to wildlife health issues using a One Health approach. The group provides solutions for wildlife health issues through research, training and extension that benefit humans, animals and the environment.

• Parasitology

  Our researchers study a variety of socio-economically important parasites, with a goal to understand them and the diseases that they cause, so that we can develop effective treatments, vaccines, diagnostic tests and strategies for effective control.

• People, Animals and the Environment

  Supporting interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary projects relating to the welfare of people, animals and the environment.

• Veterinary Anatomic Pathology

  The Veterinary Anatomic Pathology group in the Melbourne Veterinary School combines diagnostic services and anatomic pathology research with teaching in our Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

• Veterinary Climate Action @ Melbourne

  Exploring the interconnection between the veterinary profession and environmental sustainability.

• Veterinary Epidemiology @ Melbourne

  The veterinary epidemiology group aims to generate new knowledge and techniques that can lead to improvements in animal health, with an emphasis on identifying emerging areas of inquiry, particularly those that cross disciplinary boundaries.

• Veterinary Inflammation and Metabolism

  The Veterinary Inflammation and Metabolism research group investigates the disease processes and develops novel therapies for inflammatory and metabolic diseases.
