Biomedical Primate Research Centre

Biomedical research gives rise to new knowledge and ideas, as well as the systems used to assess these findings. BPRC plays a central part in biomedical research regarding some of the most serious diseases from which human beings can suffer, e.g. AIDS, malaria, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis and tuberculosis. Furthermore, BPRC seeks to solve medical issues such as transplant rejection and diseases associated with the brain. BPRC does not conduct any research geared towards the development of make-up products, recreational drugs or weapons. BPRC is only allowed to carry out studies that have been authorised by the Animal Experiments Committee (DEC).
