Thousands of non-human primates, including macaques and marmosets, are used worldwide for research purposes each year. Working with experts from academia, industry, contract research organisations, research funders, regulatory authorities and animal welfare organisations, we have developed a broad programme of activities to improve the welfare of these animals. This includes the publication of guidelines, online resources and a dedicated annual meeting.
We also support advances in non-human primate welfare through our research funding schemes, peer review service and office led data sharing projects.

A dedicated website with resources for everyone who works with, or is interested in, laboratory macaques.
