Primate Research Centers

Primate Research Centers are specialized facilities where scientists study primates—such as monkeys and apes—to better understand human biology, behavior, and diseases. These centers conduct research on issues like neurological disorders, infectious diseases, and vaccines, often using primates because of their genetic and physiological similarities to humans. The goal is to gain insights that can improve medical treatments, enhance health, and advance scientific knowledge. Strict ethical standards and regulations guide their work, balancing scientific progress with animal welfare and conservation concerns.
