Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the characteristics and welfare of monkeys as laboratory animals.

AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the bodies and lives of monkeys through laboratory animal science.
The Laboratory Animal Science Division (Institute for Human Behavior and Evolution) uses laboratory animal science focused on non-human primates to analyze the comparative biological characteristics of monkeys as laboratory animals.
It studies differences in growth and development and in naturally occurring diseases by species, age, and environment, and what those differences mean.
It also conducts basic research on anesthesia and pain, work on improving anesthesia and pain management, and animal welfare research ranging from stress assessment to environmental enrichment.
