WANPRC

The mission of the Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC) is to provide an enriched environment to support outstanding biomedical research directed towards significant human health issues and nonhuman primate health, psychological well-being and biology... To meet this mission, the WaNPRC supports biomedical research activities, professional research staff, specifically bred and maintained nonhuman primate colonies, and dedicated facilities and equipment required for nonhuman primate research protocols... Valley Fever is a fungal disease that causes mortality and morbidity across a large range of the western United States. Our work will lead to a better understanding of the fungal infective process, which will help in the development of prevention, therapeutic, and diagnostic strategies. Our ultimate goal is the development of a highly efficacious nucleic acid vaccine to provide protection against Valley Fever.
