Research

The School of Veterinary Science has outstanding teaching and research programs encompassing all aspects of veterinary science. The School’s specific research strengths lie in infectious diseases; genetics; medicine; nutrition; farm animal medicine; production; and reproduction.

The single-site strategy for all UQ animal production and health activities enhances state, national and international opportunities for collaboration and interaction within and external to the University and is a key component of UQ’s strategic commitment to sustainable management of land-based natural and production systems. World-class facilities for animal science, health, welfare and production underpin excellence in teaching and research. The combination of the relocated School of Veterinary Science, and the new Centre for Advanced Animal Science, makes the Gatton campus the most comprehensive animal research and training centre in Australia.

The Veterinary Science Building’s state-of-the-art laboratories support a very broad portfolio of applied research, including biosecurity (infectious diseases and pathology); public health; epidemiology; companion animal health; animal welfare; animal production (sustainable beef cattle enterprises); genetics (gene function in a physiological context); and new technologies (stem cell biology and advanced reproductive techniques).
