'''Non-human primates (NHPs)''' are extensively used in biomedical and behavioral research due to their physiological and genetic similarities to humans. This article explores the use of NHPs in research, focusing on the types of studies, species used, ethical considerations, and regulatory frameworks.<ref>Non-human primates in research and safety testing, [https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/opinions_layman/en/non-human-primates/index.htm]</ref> | '''Non-human primates (NHPs)''' are extensively used in biomedical and behavioral research due to their physiological and genetic similarities to humans.

The breeding and use of captive-bred NHPs in research is a complex process that balances scientific needs with ethical considerations and animal welfare. Continuous refinement of breeding practices and adherence to strict welfare standards are essential in maintaining the integrity and sustainability of these programs. | The breeding and use of captive-bred NHPs in research is a complex process that balances scientific needs with ethical considerations and animal welfare.
