Wildlife and Aquatic Veterinary Disease Laboratory
Led by Kuttichantran Subramaniam · Infectious Diseases and Immunology
What we study
The lab studies viruses that harm wildlife and fish, using metagenomics to identify them and develop tools to detect and monitor them. Researchers also explore how infections cause disease in aquatic animals and how environmental factors affect outcomes.
