Nonhuman primates play a critical and irreplaceable role in advancing modern medicine. As the closest genetic and physiological relatives to humans, these primates provide models that accurately reflect human immune, neurological, metabolic, and reproductive systems. This unique similarity allows researchers to evaluate safety, efficacy, and biological mechanisms in ways that cannot be reliably achieved using other species alone.

 

From vaccines and antiviral therapies to treatments for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders, discoveries built on primate research have led directly to life-saving interventions that benefit billions worldwide. Their use is especially critical in areas such as infectious disease, neuroscience, transplantation, and gene and cell therapy, where complex biological processes must be studied in a whole-organism context before moving into human trials.

 

AGI recognizes both the necessity and responsibility of this work. Our commitment is to provide healthy, well-characterized, and ethically cared-for primates that enable rigorous, reproducible science while meeting the highest standards of animal welfare. By supporting research programs with validated primate models, we help accelerate medical breakthroughs, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce risks in the development pipeline.

 

Primates remain essential partners in the pursuit of better health. Their contributions underpin the therapies of today and will continue to drive the medical innovations of tomorrow.
