At a time when the world faces numerous public health crises, scientists at the New England Regional Primate Research Center (NERPRC) are extending the boundaries of research, making discoveries that will lead to better diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of human disease. Investigators in the Center's Divisions of Comparative Pathology, Immunology, Microbiology, Tumor Virology, and Primate Medicine are studying the mechanisms of immune destruction in AIDS, the development of AIDS vaccines, and the pathogenesis of viral-induced cancers. Their colleagues in the Divisions of Behavioral Biology and Neurochemistry are breaking new ground in our understanding and treatment of drug addiction, neuropsychiatric disorders, and Parkinson's disease. On this site you will learn more about the Center's diverse research programs and its exciting opportunities for collaboration and training.
