| Description | BPRC is a scientific research institute that exists to perform vital research that contributes to the identification and development of these new medicines. BPRC is committed to using non-human primates for this critical research only where there are no suitable alternatives. Research is also required to identify and develop alternatives to the use of non-human primates. BPRC has an active and expanding programme to develop alternatives following the principles of reduction, refinement and replacement. |
