Strategic Focus

We seek to quantify the magnitude of the pharmacodynamic parameters of generic antibiotics compared to the innovative ones to determine their therapeutic equivalence in vivo. We also focus on the etiological diagnosis of infectious diseases and the ethology of domestic species such as dogs.

Research Lines and/or Areas
