ADHERENCE TO RESEARCH LINES

In order to promote the broad and in-depth study of the demands identified in the north of Brazil and, consequently, the application of scientific production to increase the quality of life of humans and animals, the Program has a single area of ​​concentration, “Advanced Diagnostics in Animal Health”, in which two lines of research are linked. 

The ongoing projects are well aligned with the program's research lines, with their dissertations and theses included within these macroprojects. By 2020, 55 research projects were being developed, 27 of which were funded by development agencies, totaling 54% of the ongoing projects developed by our program's faculty and students.

RESEARCH LINES: BIOTECHNOLOGY, REPRODUCTION AND ANIMAL GENETICS

Its objective is to develop studies on the biotechnology of animal cells - totipotent germ cells, pluripotent embryonic cells, oligopotent and multipotent somatic cells, as well as parasitic and microbial cells, within the scope of basic sciences and applied to innovative therapies in conventional and unconventional models and to the hygiene and quality of human and animal food, important for public health. In addition, it promotes research on embryonic development, the morphological and molecular bases of organogenesis, as well as broad genomic studies with animal cells and their interactions and applicability in the improvement of reproductive biotechnologies and genetic improvement of livestock in production chains of regional interest, as well as to evaluate genetic modifications in vectors and agents that cause diseases in animals and humans.

LINES OF RESEARCH: DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY IN VETERINARY MEDICINE 

Its objective is to establish and improve innovative diagnostic approaches in the clinical and technological fields of production chains and, in its various specialties, as well as to promote pre-clinical and clinical studies in therapies with new drugs and natural products, which may involve computational, in vitro, experimental and animal models of regional interest.
