Welcome to macaque.org

Here you can find the latest information on macaque genomic and proteomic resources and see how these tools are providing important new dimensions to research using macaque models of infectious disease. Our research encompasses a number of viruses that pose global threats to human health, including influenza, HIV, and SARS-associated coronavirus.

By combining macaque infection models with gene expression and protein abundance profiling, we are uncovering exciting new insights into the multitude of molecular and cellular events that occur in response to virus infection. A better understanding of these events may provide the basis for innovative antiviral therapies and improvements to vaccine development strategies.
