Section overview
Description
Main Research Focus Scientists of the Institute of Veterinary Biochemistry conduct basic research projects with innovative methods in veterinarian research. The main focus our projects are: Biology of Reproduction: Physiology of the oviduct of farm animals, teratozoospermia in felids, inflammatory processes in the bovine uterus, gamete/embryo-maternal interaction In-vitro Systems: Risk assessment of genetically modified feed/food, new epithelial cell cultures from domestic animals, delivery of nanomaterial to animal cells Diagnostics and Bioassays: Proteome/transcriptome profiling, biomarker discovery and validation Feed-mediated Reactions within the Gastro-Intestinal Tract: Impact of probiotica, trace elements and host-pathogen interactions (SFB 852 Nutrition and Intestinal Microbiota – Host Interaction in the Pig) Cellular Response and Pathway Analysis: Analysis of microRNAs and mRNA (miR-Q), inter- and intra-cellular signalling
