The center aims to provide a good quality in health and genetic of non-human primates (NHPs) and to provide research services for both in country and aboard.
Three species of NHPs are and will be bred, reared and used for research; Thai origin cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis), Indian rhesus macaques (M. mulatta) and common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). At present, we have more than 700 cynomolgus macaques and in 2022 we plan to have 200 common marmosets. They are specific pathogen free (SPF) that free from tuberculosis, B virus, SIV, SRV and STLV that are reared in social housing system.
