Core Facilities
The MARCE supports a two-site Non-Human Primates Core Facility (“NHP Core”) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore and the University of Pittsburgh’s Regional Biocontainment Laboratory (RBL). Optimal utilization of non-human primates for biodefense and emerging infectious disease research requires a facility whereby animals are housed in appropriate biocontainment (animal biosafety levels 2 and 3), and research personnel experienced in the methodologies required for infectious disease research and vaccine development.
Training Programs
The MARCE sponsors a variety of training programs designed to educate and enhance the capabilities of MARCE researchers. These courses, listed below, are offered periodically based on researchers's needs and requests. Watch the News section for upcoming training sessions and dates.
