Title: New England Primate Research Center: Home

URL: http://www.hms.harvard.edu/neprc/

Collection: Institutional Archives

Description: The New England Primate Research Center (NEPRC) was major research facility of Harvard Medical School, and part of the National Primate Research Center Program of NIH. Since its inception, NEPRC was a leader in primate biomedical research and provided scientific resources and services to investigators throughout the US and abroad. Its mission was to pursue an integrated mission of research, service and training focusing on basic and applied biomedical research in nonhuman primates to provide solutions for human health problems, the biology of nonhuman primates to promote their health, well-being and appropriate scientific use, service as a regional resource to the biomedical community to expand research opportunities in nonhuman primates, and training of young scientists for professional careers in biomedical research and primate biology. The NEPRC was established by Congress in 1962 and formally dedicated in 1966, and was one of eight Regional Primate Research Centers in the US. It was supported by a base grant from the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Their many scientific programs were funded by research grants from categorical institutes of NIH and other federal and private agencies. The Center was organized into four Research Divisions focusing on AIDS, cancer, neuropsychiatric disorders, drug addiction, and neurodegenerative disease. In 2013, Harvard Medical School announced its decision to close the facility over the next two years, and the Center officially closed in 2015.

Description: Established in 1966, Dr. Stephen W. Kuffler invented a new field called Neurobiology, combining physiology, biochemistry, histology, neuroanatomy, and electron microscopy in a single group. It was the first such department in the world, and it created a model of cross-disciplinary research. The celebration, held in 2016, honored not only the 50th anniversary of the department and its founding members, but also looked back at the development of the department and the field of Neurobiology. Several distinguished neuroscientists and former faculty of the Department presented their work in the context of the history of the department.
