Primate Resources Center (PRC) is the largest non-human primate infrastructure in Korea. Non-human primates in PRC are extensively quality-controlled by means of health monitoring (e.g., infectious viruses and bacteria) in order to maintain specific pathogen free (SPF) non-human primate resources. In addition, PRC endeavors to construct collaborative networks to support industry, academia, institute for non-human primate research, including for neurodegenerative disease models, regenerative medicine, and new-drug discovery related to incurable diseases.
