Recent progress has included the development a candidate Hepatitis C vaccine, as well as two HIV vaccines now in clinical trials involving thousands of humans. The center aims to assist other primate centers with its strong program in the genetic management of captive nonhuman primates. The center will also provide new opportunities for scientists in the southwestern United States to work on a variety of biomedical research topics at locations close to their home institutions.
