Over 60 years of life-saving research and humane animal care
WNPRC-trained physician-scientist Nakul Aggarwal — who earned his neuroscience PhD in Ned Kalin’s lab studying early-life anxiety in nonhuman primates and children — discusses his translational research, his work as a Biomedical Research Awareness Day fellow, and why animal research is essential to advancing children’s mental health.
We had a blast at this year’s Science Expeditions! Over 300 people came to visit the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center for this UW-Madison campus-wide science event. That’s a new record! In addition to seeing the marmosets, people talked with UW-Madison graduate student researchers and learned about neuroscience. Special thanks go out to all of …
By Jordana Lenon Honoring her mother, while helping advance research on frontal temporal dementia (FTD) is Linde Lee Jacobs’ mission. It’s what recently brought her to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, including a visit to the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center. There, she learned about the work of Marina Emborg, professor of medical physics in the …
WNPRC neuroendocrinologist Ei Terasawa Grilley marks 50 years as a scientist and teacher at UW–Madison, where her research in nonhuman primates helped define how the brain triggers puberty.
A UC Davis–led study, co-authored by a Wisconsin National Primate Research Center researcher, found that testosterone during puberty shapes how the brain responds to social stress differently in males and females.
WNPRC senior scientist Marina Emborg brought playwright Jake Broder to UW–Madison to present “UnRavelled,” his play about an artist’s frontotemporal dementia, to neuroscience students and faculty — connecting the arts to research on neurodegenerative disease.
