Extracellular Vesicles, Vaccine development, Surveillance and monitoring
1. Novel Technologies for Prevention, Detection, Assessment and Management of Animal Health and Welfare
We are experts in extracellular vesicles (EVs) physiology and biology. EVs are small nanoparticles produced by all taxa studied so far and play a crucial role in intercellular communication within and between species. They can be targeted for the development of new diagnostic tests, therapeutics, and vaccines. We are pleased to offer our expertise in EV research to groups interested in studying the fundamentals of animal health and welfare, as well as consortia focused on disease surveillance.
The Estonian University of Life Sciences, a leading institution in agricultural, environmental, and veterinary sciences, is home to the renowned Veterinary Institute in Tartu, Estonia. The institute offers comprehensive training for future veterinarians, blending rigorous academic coursework with hands-on clinical experience in state-of-the-art facilities. Focused on animal health, disease prevention, and veterinary public health, the institute conducts impactful research and provides advanced clinical services for both small and large animals. Through international collaborations, it plays a crucial role in advancing veterinary medicine and promoting animal welfare locally and globally.
