Objective
Non-human primates play an important role in biological and biomedical research in Europe. This group of animals provides models, which are essential in the research area of genomics and biotechnology for health. Numerous aspects of biomedical research in this field depend on the availability of living animals or biological material with primate origin for the successful development of new strategies against human diseases.
This includes infectious diseases (e.g. HIV, hepatitis, malaria), neurological diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's or Parkinson Disease), cancer research, the development of new therapeutics (vaccines, gene therapy), and transplantation research. The European primate centres exist because the high ethical demands of research on primates as well as the complexity of research on these species is best met through specialized, highly competent and adequately funded central facilities across Europe. This Integrated Infrastructure Initiative proposal will network the publicly funded European primate centres that combine research and breeding, covers the central aspects of primate research in biological and biomedical research and is aimed at advancing knowledge and competence in the areas of research, animal keeping and breeding. Due to the plethora of biological and biomedical research activities in the centres extensive knowledge and infrastructure resources already exist.
Moreover, the centres have extensive experiences in primate housing and breeding. With an efficient network the existing knowledge and resources will be integrated and will enable an improvement of the basic and applied biological and biomedical research with primates and of housing and breeding conditions for primate. The proposals objectives focus on animal welfare, standardisation of procedures and methods, enhanced availability of non-human primates and training for those working with primates.
