معرفی
Sara Belluco is a Teacher-researcher at VetAgro Sup's Veterinary Campus, affiliated with the Companion Animal Clinic, Leisure and Sport teaching department and the UP ICE (Cell-environment interactions) research unit. She operates within the Histology laboratory technical platform and teaches Histology, general pathology, pathological anatomy, and autopsies.
Her research centers on veterinary pathology with emphasis on oncology and immunohistochemistry, investigating nervous system tumors in dogs and cats, canine cutaneous histiocytoma, digital squamous cell carcinoma, and glioblastoma modeling in Yucatan minipigs. She addresses critical methodological challenges in immunohistochemical standardization, particularly for cyclo-oxygenase-2 detection, to enhance diagnostic reliability in veterinary medicine.
Analysis of her publication record reveals a cohesive focus on comparative oncology using large animal models, with strong translational relevance to human medicine. Her work demonstrates consistent expertise in tumor characterization across species, observer reliability in neuropathology diagnosis, and innovative applications of immunohistochemical markers for tumor subtyping.
Dr. Belluco actively collaborates through the UP ICE research unit, leveraging the Histology laboratory for technical execution. Her projects involve multi-institutional teams working on minipig glioblastoma models and comparative studies of companion animal tumors, establishing her as a key contributor to veterinary cancer research methodology.
