Kimron Veterinary Institute, Israel
About
The researchers of KVI combined from senior researchers that work to accomplish high-level academic and practical research independently and in collaboration with researchers in Israel and the world. These research projects adjusted to the needs of the Veterinary Institute and for the preparation of the Veterinary Services to the challenges in the veterinary field in Israel.
In addition to the research work, the researchers are responsible to the development and implementation of cutting-edge technologies for the diagnostic and the monitoring of pathogens in animals, zoonotic threats and drugs residues in animal products.
Israel is the main terrestrial bridge for the migration of animals and avian between Europe, Asia and Africa. Hence, the KVI researchers are responsible for the preparation and for the groundwork of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Veterinary Services to the threats of spillovers of veterinary and zoonotic pathogens to the human and to the animals of the terrain of the state of Israel.
The researchers of the KVI specialize in variety of research fields including toxicology, mycology, entomology, bacteriology and virology.
The unique challenges of the veterinary institute encourage the researchers to experiment in advanced research in chemical traces identification, diagnostics and research of wide spectrum of pathogens in the area of their specialty as well as the different hosts of these pathogens; amphibians, marine, reptiles, avian and mammals.
Moreover, the researchers of the KVI are required to be acquainted with and experience laboratory methods including next generation technologies and high sensitivity diagnostic tools. These tools must fit the reliable, consistent and professional standard of the KVI standing as a leading diagnostic and research institute in the veterinary world.
The researchers of the KVI are the leading force that promotes the Kimron Veterinary Institute and the Veterinary Services to face the challenges of the veterinary world in the 21st century.
