However, recent advances in alternate research tools have rendered chimpanzees largely unnecessary as research subjects. The Institute of Medicine, in collaboration with the National Research Council, conducted an in-depth analysis of the scientific necessity for chimpanzees in NIH-funded biomedical and behavioral research. The committee concludes that while the chimpanzee has been a valuable animal model in the past, most current biomedical research use of chimpanzees is not necessary, though noted that it is impossible to predict whether research on emerging or new diseases may necessitate chimpanzees in the future"--Publisher description.Animal models in researchChimpanzeesAnimal models in research.Chimpanzees.616.02738Altevogt Bruce M1791694Committee on the Use of Chimpanzees in Biomedical and Behavioral Research (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960983503321Chimpanzees in biomedical and behavioral research4359554UNINA
