Word from the Director

A collaborative network uniting science, knowledge and people, linking animal and veterinary science with global planetary health demands.

AL4AnimalS is committed to advance research in animal and veterinary science, under the One Health concept, for a more sustainable, resilient and healthy future for the planet earth.

At AL4AnimalS, we believe that science and knowledge can drive meaningful changes to the health of people, animals and the ecosystems. Our scientists are focused to address global challenges at the human-animal-environment interfaces, with a direct societal impact.

We work together with key partners, stakeholders and the governance to develop more sustainable food systems, monitor emergent and zoonotic infectious diseases that threaten public and animal health, and pursuit advances in biotechnology and translational medicine.

We empower science in the search for novel relevant knowledge, which can support the public policies.

We invite you to explore our work, join our network, and be part of this collective mission.

— Luís Lopes da Costa, Director of AL4AnimalS
