Alpha Genesis - The Model for Successful Primate Research

The Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center (AGPRC) is the designated Contract Research Organization (Primate CRO) of Alpha Genesis Incorporated (AGI). The AGPRC research team is dedicated to fighting diseases and seeks to substantially improve human and animal health worldwide. In partnership with government organizations, private foundations, and private industry, AGPRC scientists conduct studies seeking breakthrough discoveries leading to improved treatments and cures. The highly regulated study of nonhuman primates (NHPs) is critically important to medical progress worldwide, as investigations using nonhuman primate models often precedes clinical trials in humans and cannot be replicated any other way. With increased international competition (especially from mainland China) for nonhuman primate research and development resources, exacerbated dramatically by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the AGPRC represents a unique and highly effective US-based resource for conducting such work.
