Cristina Castillo Rodríguez

Cristina Castillo Rodríguez serves as a University Professor in the Department of Animal Medicine and Surgery at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Santiago de Compostela. Her academic responsibilities span teaching, research, and clinical veterinary sciences within the Bachelor in Veterinary program.

Her research focuses on animal metabolism and pathology, evidenced by her membership in the "Animal metabolism and pathology" research group. This work integrates physiological, metabolic, and pathological analyses to advance veterinary diagnostic methodologies and clinical interventions. Her expertise bridges basic sciences with clinical applications in veterinary medicine.

Professor Castillo teaches core courses including General Pathology (Nosology and Physiopathology) for third-year students, Propaedeutic Clinic covering foundational clinical skills, and Veterinary Clinical Analyses as an advanced elective for fifth-year students. Her instructional approach emphasizes the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical clinical applications across basic and clinical veterinary sciences.

She actively contributes to the "Animal metabolism and pathology" research group, which investigates metabolic disorders and disease mechanisms in animals. This collaborative unit likely conducts laboratory-based research and clinical studies to develop diagnostic protocols and therapeutic strategies in veterinary pathology.
