Pioneering Advances in New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)

For over 35 years, we have pioneered innovation in biomedical research through the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). Our commitment to animal welfare is deeply rooted in the 3Rs principles—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—and guided by a profound sense of responsibility. Here at the CNPRC, through our commitment to continuous development and expansion of new alternative methods, we are helping build a future that improves health for humans and animals alike, and where more patients gain access to life-saving treatments—swiftly, safely, and with reduced reliance on animal use in research.

Education and Training Opportunities

The California National Primate Research Center scientists and research teams play an important role in training future scientists, veterinarians and animal care specialists through participation in a variety of both formal and informal educational opportunities and programs here at the Center.
Training Opportunities

California National Primate Research Center

The California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC) enables breakthrough discoveries in human and animal health through the mission to improve human health and quality of life. Research at the CNPRC is leading to new diagnostics, therapeutics and clinical procedures that enhance quality of life for human and animal health.  The CNPRC is an Organized Research Unit at UC Davis.
