Research Perspectives

The Primate Center conducts basic research in primate biology. Center research has contributed to understanding and treating diseases and disorders since 1961. For a history of major research contributions please see Primate Center Discoveries.

Clinical applications from embryonic stem cell research and other recent discoveries are still years, even decades away. For more perspective, please read "Why Science Takes Time", by Ron Seely of the Wisconsin State Journal, Feb. 2, 2003. Please also see Primates in Biomedical Research

For the latest advances in clinical trials and therapies, please talk to your doctor. You can also contact a patient advocacy group or visit NIH clinical trials website.
