Non-communicable diseases

About our research

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and arthritis, affect both humans and animals, reflecting shared health challenges across species. Research in human and veterinary medicine is uncovering new molecular targets to better understand the mechanisms underlying these conditions. 

Innovative efforts focus on prevention strategies, early diagnostics, and cutting-edge treatments, including personalized medicine and novel therapeutic agents. By bridging human and veterinary research, this interdisciplinary approach not only enhances health outcomes for all species but also advances the One Health vision of integrated solutions for complex health challenges.
