Our Mission

Our mission is to help humans and animals live longer, healthier lives through scientific advances and discovery. 

We support our mission by providing basic and translational research and scientific expertise to investigators and industry. 

Our mission is accomplished through four scientific units and a diverse array of core services.

Our Commitment to Research

For over 60 years, NBRI scientists have collaborated with investigators to research, discover, and develop new therapies. 

An important aspect of our mission is to serve as a national resource for interdisciplinary biomedical research by facilitating and providing access to nonhuman primate models and a wide array of research services.  

Our long-standing commitment to the core values of animal welfare, biosecurity, research rigor, the 3Rs, and new approach methodologies (NAMs) uniquely positions us to support the scientific community's research needs.
