Welcome to the Animal Health Research Center

Our Mission: Improved Health Through Technology and Education

Under safe and secure conditions, scientists will study areas that affect animal and human populations. Research into animal and human diseases has become increasingly vital to both animal and human health. With the addition of the Animal Health Research Center to the University of Georgia, investigators will have a new opportunity to contribute to this important area of research.
