Animal Biology Graduate Programs
The Master’s degree course lasts four semesters and graduates are awarded a Master of Science degree. The following three main subject areas form the basic focus of the university course:
These main subject areas provide an interface between biology and biomedical science and research, thus making the special focus of the Master’s Studies Course clear. Many institutes of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo) are involved in the degree course, the form of which does not exist at other biological sciences faculties. The close link between biological and veterinary research areas is unique in Germany.
The university lecturers base their teaching on current scientific research of their own institute. Thereby, the students are introduced to current research right from the beginning and are given the opportunity early on to carry out independent research in the TiHo laboratories. Those who see their intended career in bioscientific or biomedical research and/or intend to gain a doctorate (Dr.rer.nat. or PhD) have come to the right place!
Animal Science Degree
This is a study course of an international nature. For this reason most of the lectures are held in English. Also, at many universities English is the working language in the lab due to the international composition of staff. A good command of English is therefore essential.
In the first semester the course “Animal Protection and Planning Animal Experiments” is run for all students. Additionally, the course FELASA B is optionally offered insofar as it is necessary for the further course of study.
The master’s degree course qualifies the students for a variety of professional profiles in the field of biological and biomedical research at universities or in industry at home or abroad. The interdisciplinary combination of relevant training content for this prepares the graduates well for their subsequent profession. Graduates from multidisciplinary subjects currently have good opportunities in the biotech field, especially at an international level.Todgham lab member Brittany Davis recently completed her PhD. Her dissertation focused on research conducted all the way from Antarctica to the California coast at the Bodega Marine lab to the local Bay Delta estuaries.
Master Of Science In Biological Sciences
Before graduating with a Ph.D. in Animal Biology, Yanina Bogliotti studied epigenetic histone marks remodeling during early mammalian development in the laboratory of Associate Professor Pablo Ross.
Associate Professor Pablo Ross is studying ways to grow human organs — that can later be used for transplants — inside pigs.
Before graduating with a Ph.D. in Animal Biology, Seunghyung Lee worked with five varying feeding rates and growth rate of the one-year-old white sturgeon for his research, which sought to find the optimal feeding rate for sturgeon in the aquaculture industry.
Animal Biology Master's Degree
M.S. student Kathleen Furtado is shown working in the laboratory of Assistant Professor Elizabeth Maga. The overall goal of the research program in Maga Lab is to demonstrate that milk from genetically engineered dairy animals containing increased levels of protective antimicrobial proteins can be used to improve human health.
Recent research by Associate Professor Anne Todgham shows that some Antarctic fish living in the planet’s coldest waters are able to cope with the stress of rising carbon dioxide levels in the ocean. They can even tolerate slightly warmer waters. But they can’t deal with both stressors at the same time.
Assistant Professor Kristina Horback is focused on identifying personality traits in non-human animals in order to evaluate the relationship between such traits and individual welfare.
Wildlife Biology Degree
Students in the laboratory of Professor and Sesnon Endowed Chair, Ermias Kebreab use mathematical models and statistics to study animal production in relation to environmental sustainability.
Professor Cassandra Tucker investigates how the behavior and physiology of cattle change in response to farming practices, such as painful procedures, management decisions, and environmental conditions. The results of her work contribute to science-based decisions about animal agriculture.
M.S. student Monica Pechanec attended the Orthopaedic Research Society 2018 Meeting in New Orleans along with Assistant Professor Mike Mienaltowski to present on “Adding Exogenous Biglycan Improves Tendon Formation for Equine Peritenon and Tendon Proper Cells”
Department Of Biology
Ph.D. student Erin Burns with a 6-month old filly at a private farm where she was neurologically phenotyping horses as part of her graduate work.
Welcome to the website for the Graduate Group in Animal Biology at the University of California, Davis! UC Davis has an international reputation for excellence in animal biology. Current research within the Animal Biology Graduate Group extends from lipid modification and the interaction of the immune system and animal growth to conservation of indigenous species, cloning and reproduction and the interaction of animal behavior with genetic modification. Mentoring faculty are recognized as leading researchers in their fields. Students trained by our faculty have excelled in their chosen careers in academia, non-governmental organizations, industry and government.
The Animal Biology Graduate Group is designed for students interested in integrated animal biology. Research typically focuses on a multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary question and is strengthened by an understanding of organismal animal biology. The Animal Biology Graduate Group offers a Ph.D. and an M.S. in Animal Biology.
