Comparative Medicine

Comparative medicine is the study of different animal species to understand health, disease, and treatments, often with insights applicable to humans. By examining how various animals develop illnesses or respond to therapies, researchers can identify better ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat diseases in both animals and people. It bridges veterinary and human medicine, emphasizing that many biological processes are shared across species. This approach enhances scientific understanding, leading to improved healthcare solutions for all species involved.
