Geriatric studies (with NHP models)

Models (Disease)

Toxicology, Specialty

Geriatric NHP studies provide a representation of the human aging process to investigate age-related human health issues. Rhesus macaques (old world monkeys) and common marmosets (new world monkeys) can replicate the human aging process and are the most frequently studied in aging research. 

While some challenges to studying aging NHP populations include cost implications and the lack of access to maturing models, the benefits include mirroring of human anatomy, physiology, behavior and neurobiology (the last of which is instrumental in Alzheimer’s disease research). 

Neural circuits of NHPs have also been studied, for example, in Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease research. Other contributions include HIV/AIDS, Zika, Ebola and other vaccination development.

About our nonclinical animal research models: We provide the utmost care for our research animals and actively pursue advances in animal welfare. As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC. Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
