Our Impact
The °ϲʹ’s underpinning philosophy is to encourage curiosity-driven research which benefits lives of humans and animals. When undertaking our research, we recognise that for it to have societal or economic impact, we need to work with diverse stakeholders including policy-makers, social scientists and ethicists throughout the research journey.

Our comparative, global, integrated and inter-disciplinary (One Health) approaches have led to impacts in fields as diverse as understanding the health of pedigree dogs, studying the development of global zoonotic pandemics, and utilising the biomechanics of bird flight to generate impact on aviation.
