Research on monkeys
At KI, groundbreaking research is carried out that contributes to new knowledge in cancer, neuroscience, immunology, epidemiology and global health. The research that is underway using monkeys leads to new knowledge that cannot currently be achieved with any other method. KI follows Swedish legislation for all animal experiments and no human primates, only macaques, are used.
