The main research areas are in the investigation of mechanisms of development, detection, monitoring, and treatment of animal cancers. The mechanisms of cancer development are investigated by determining molecules and pathways involved in cancer proliferation and inhibition. These pathways and molecules will serve as targets for cancer therapies. In the early detection and monitoring of cancer development, several serum biomarkers will be identified, which have potential to be developed into diagnostic kits. The efficacies of new anticancer synthetic and natural compounds are also investigated in dogs and cats with naturally developed cancers as well as mice and rats with specific induced cancers. Some of these compounds will be packaged in new and innovative drug delivery systems for more effective therapies. The research also involves preclinical (laboratory animals) and clinical trials in client owned pet animals with spontaneous cancer in the development of animal and human cancer therapeutics that would eventually culminate in commercialization.

Molecular biotechnology describes the molecular basis of technological approaches, applications and processes in biology and medicine. It results from the convergence of many areas of research, such as molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, genetics, and cell biology. The tools of molecular biotechnology can be applied to develop and improve drugs, vaccines, therapies, and diagnostic tests that will improve human and animal health. Molecular biotechnology has applications in agriculture, veterinary sciences, aquaculture, forestry and food processing. This interdisciplinary program enables students to specialize in their preferred field with the focus of development in knowledge and practical skills in research projects.

Medical biotechnology is the field of study that applies the biological-related techniques in medical research, development and innovation. Dramatic advances in genetics, biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology and immunology for the past few decades have greatly contributed to the complex and fast-evolving field of medical biotechnology. Breakthroughs in medical biotechnology have revolutionized the practice of conventional medicine.
These revolutions are including the development of newer and simpler tests for the diagnosis of diseases with higher degree of accuracy; genetic and proteomic tests that allow for prevention of diseases; more efficient methods for designing and producing drugs that are more effective but less toxic by targeting at the molecular level as well as realization of gene therapy in clinical practice to cure diseases that are previously incurable. This field of study will emphasize on the understanding of related biological processes and application of edge-cutting technologies in the research, development and innovation of pharmaceutical products, vaccines, diagnostic kits and devices for the medical industry.

The field of Marine Ecology and Biodiversity encompasses topics in population biology and community structure of marine biota at gene, species and ecosystem levels to understand the processes responsible for the regulation and maintenance of diversity in marine ecosystems. Application of both conventional and molecular tools is emphasized to better understand the structure, processesand functions of marine biota. Cause-effects relationships between environmental parameters and biodiversity are analysedto design effective management approaches of the marine resources and their environment.

This field is directed towards developing new methodologies and approaches in promoting the status of traditional including herbal medicines and products derived from them into scientifically validated therapeutic agents/biomarkers. Medicinal chemistry is the study that contributes to an understanding of the relationship between molecular structure and biological activity or mode of action. It also includes organic synthesis, biological behaviour, drug design, QSAR, molecular modelling, molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting.
Currently, projects within the program at LHS focus mainly on design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel biologically active compounds, molecular modifications of reported series that lead to a significantly improved understanding of their structure-activity relationships (SAR). Computational studies that provide fresh insight into the SAR of compound series that are of current general interest in this field. In addition to that, substantially novel computational chemistry methods with demonstrated value for the identification, optimization, or target interaction analysis of bioactive molecules are also explored.

Metabolomics is the study of low molecular weight molecules or metabolites found within cells and biological systems. It centers around ecipheringthe “metabolome” which is the complete set of metabolites expressed within an organism. The composition of the metabolome is a reflection of the networks of enzymatic pathways encoded within the genome. It also reflects the interplay of developmental processes and changing environment over the lifetime of the organism. The holistic nature of the metabolomics approach makes it invaluable for characterizing metabolic responses of an organism to perturbations.
Due to this, metabolomics has exciting applications in various fields of research such as environmental interactions, bioenergy, functional genomics, secondary metabolism, systems biology and metabolic modeling in plant, algal, and microbial systems. Metabolites are conserved across various animal species, facilitating the extrapolation of research findings in laboratory animals to humans and thus clinical and translational research.
Common platform technologies for measuring the metabolome include mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), which can measure hundreds to thousands of unique chemical entities (UCE). Projects within the programfocus on both agricultural (eg. agronomy, post-harvest, plant-pathogen interactions) and biomedical studies requiring metabolomics approach. Biomedical studies utilizing metabolomics at LHS focus on the interventions of selected plant extracts in establishing anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, antidiuretic/nephrotic and anti-cancer properties.
