The University of Zurich (UZH) is a world-leading institution renowned for its excellence in research and education. The Center for Applied Biotechnology and Molecular Medicine (CABMM) is affiliated with the Vetsuisse Faculty at the UZH and is dedicated to advancing clinically oriented translational research. It serves an interdisciplinary research network that brings together basic scientists and clinicians from veterinary and human medicine, enabling them to exchange scientific advances and to jointly develop new therapeutic approaches.
