Research Cluster (3)
Cell Biology and Morphology
- Bone and Muscle Cell Biology
The main interest of the Bone and Muscle Cell Biology laboratory is the regulation of differentiation and activity of cells of the musculoskeletal system. - Foetal and Neonatal Immunology
The immune system is essential for a normal healthy life. It is made up of billions of white blood cells called T and B lymphocytes. The Foetal and Neonatal Immunology laboratory conducts basic research programmes on the developmental biology of T cell migration. - Small Animal Medicine
The Small Animal Medicine group conducts research aimed at identifying the aetiology and pathogenesis of disease, the development of novel diagnostic tests and the implementation of new treatments. The research is clinical research, is patient based, and calls on the substantial caseload of sick animals presented to the University of Melbourne Veterinary Clinic and Hospital. - Anatomic Pathology
Pathology is the study of disease. Anatomic pathology is a subspecialty involved with the study of diseased animal tissues in contrast to clinical pathology, which is the study of body fluids and individual cells, including the blood. Anatomic pathology is central to understanding the causes, clinical presentation, progression and treatment of disease. - Surgery and Biomaterials
The groups is currently conducting research into biomaterials and the molecular management of wound healing.
