Our laboratory is dedicated to scientific and technological advancement in the study and application of bacteriocins and antimicrobial peptides, focusing on innovative solutions for animal health and sustainable livestock production. These bioactive molecules represent promising alternatives to conventional antimicrobials, helping to address critical challenges such as microbial resistance and sanitary safety within the production chain.

In our work, we aim not only to generate high-quality knowledge but also to drive tangible societal impact. Our research holds the potential to improve the health and welfare of livestock and companion animals, optimize production efficiency, and reduce the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, thereby aligning with global demands for more sustainable and responsible practices.

By integrating basic and applied research, training skilled professionals, and collaborating with industry and institutional sectors, the laboratory positions itself as an active agent in transforming scientific knowledge into tangible benefits for society, the economy, and the environment.
