Department of Veterinary Biosciences

Welcome to the Department of Veterinary Biosciences. We are one of three departments that make up the College of Veterinary Medicine at The Ohio State University.

The college is a member of one of the most comprehensive health sciences centers in the United States, which includes the Colleges of Veterinary Medicine, Medicine, Public Health, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Optometry, Nursing, and Allied Health Sciences.

The Department of Biosciences combines the disciplines of veterinary anatomy, immunology, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology into a single academic unit. The breadth of the faculty's expertise offers exceptional opportunities for research, interdisciplinary teaching in the veterinary medical, post-DVM and graduate programs and state-of-the-art clinical laboratory services.

I encourage you to explore our web site to meet our faculty and to find out more about our department. We share a common motto: "Our life's work is to find out how life works."

Michael D. Lairmore, DVM, PhD, Diplomate, ACVP and ACVM
