Solutions

Comprehensive support across the NHP research lifecycle.

From animal availability and quarantine to biological matrices and study conduct, AGI gives sponsors a coordinated platform for complex preclinical programs.

Nonhuman Primate Models

Purpose-bred rhesus and cynomolgus macaques supported by veterinary oversight, health documentation, intake review, social housing practices where appropriate, and experienced animal care teams. AGI helps sponsors identify animals that fit study requirements, timeline constraints, and protocol-specific needs.

CDC Quarantine & Housing

Domestic quarantine, import support, secure housing, sponsor-owned animal support, and long-term colony management. AGI supports programs that need dependable U.S. capacity, experienced animal handling, and operational continuity before, during, and after quarantine.

Contract Research Services

GLP-capable and non-GLP preclinical support across pharmacology, PK, toxicology, surgical, interventional, ophthalmology, orthopedic, and translational studies. Our teams coordinate animals, procedures, samples, documentation, and sponsor communication.

Biological Samples

Whole blood, serum, plasma, PBMCs, tissues, and custom biological material collections aligned to sponsor protocols. AGI supports scheduled collections, matrix-specific handling, processing requirements, and documentation for downstream analysis.

Contract Research Services

Preclinical study support for complex programs.

AGI supports sponsor-directed studies across pharmacology, toxicology, surgical, interventional, ophthalmology, orthopedic, imaging, and translational research.

Program pathway

A clear path from study design to actionable data.

01

Define

Align species, animals, endpoints, timelines, regulatory expectations, and sponsor priorities.

02

Prepare

Coordinate quarantine, acclimation, housing, veterinary oversight, sample schedules, and study logistics.

03

Execute

Conduct procedures, collect samples, document observations, and maintain sponsor communication.

04

Deliver

Provide data, biological materials, reports, and operational continuity for next-stage decisions.

Partnerships

A domestic partner for programs that require continuity.

AGI supports research programs where the operational details matter: animal availability, import timing, quarantine capacity, social housing constraints, sample schedules, veterinary oversight, technical staffing, documentation, and sponsor communication.

Biotech & pharmaceutical sponsors

AGI supports development teams that need nonhuman primate access without building internal infrastructure or coordinating multiple disconnected vendors. Sponsors can work with AGI for animal availability planning, quarantine timing, housing, sample collection, preclinical procedures, and GLP-capable study execution. This is particularly useful for programs where timelines, animal criteria, import logistics, or sample schedules create operational risk.

Animal availability planning for study-specific age, sex, species, origin, health, and timeline requirements
Integrated support across quarantine, acclimation, housing, procedures, biological matrices, and study conduct
Domestic execution model that reduces handoffs between animal supplier, quarantine provider, housing site, and research vendor

Government research programs

AGI provides domestic infrastructure for public-sector biomedical research programs that require continuity, documentation, experienced animal care, and the ability to support complex operational requirements over long timelines. Our facilities and teams are positioned for programs where reliability, compliance, veterinary oversight, and secure animal housing matter as much as study execution itself.

Long-term housing, animal care, and program continuity for multi-year research needs
Operational support for regulated, high-visibility, or logistically complex biomedical programs
Experienced veterinary, animal care, quarantine, and technical teams working within documented processes

Academic investigators

AGI works with investigators who need access to nonhuman primate resources but do not have the internal colony size, quarantine infrastructure, veterinary staffing, or technical capacity required to execute the work independently. We can support focused pilot studies, sample-driven projects, sponsor-funded university work, and translational studies that require specialized NHP access.

NHP model access without the burden of maintaining an internal colony or dedicated quarantine program
Custom collections for blood, serum, plasma, PBMCs, tissues, and other study-specific biological materials
Practical study planning support for animal numbers, timing, procedures, sample schedules, and feasibility

Partnership models

Sponsors can engage AGI for a narrow operational need or a broader integrated program. We can support one piece of the workflow or coordinate the full path from animals and quarantine through study activity and sample delivery.

Animal sourcing and availability planning
CDC quarantine overflow and import support
Sponsor-owned animal housing and management
Pre-study acclimation, observation, and scheduling
Custom biological material collection
GLP-capable and non-GLP study execution
Veterinary, surgical, and technical procedure support
Long-term program continuity for recurring study needs

Animal Welfare

Responsible research begins with responsible animal care.

Animal welfare is central to Alpha Genesis. Strong animal care is not separate from strong science. Healthy, well-observed animals, consistent husbandry, experienced veterinary oversight, and thoughtful enrichment all support better research, better data, and better outcomes for sponsors.

AGI approaches animal welfare as a daily operating responsibility. That includes routine observation, veterinary review, enrichment, housing decisions, procedure planning, recovery monitoring, documentation, and communication among animal care, research, veterinary, quality, and sponsor teams.

Veterinary oversight

Clinical care is supported by veterinary review, routine observation, preventive health practices, and escalation pathways for animals requiring additional attention. Veterinary input is built into animal selection, quarantine, housing, procedure planning, and post-procedure monitoring.

Behavioral health and enrichment

Animals receive enrichment and behavioral monitoring designed to support species-typical behavior and psychological well-being. Enrichment practices may include manipulanda, foraging opportunities, social interaction, visual and auditory stimulation, and programmatic review based on animal needs.

Responsible housing

Housing decisions are made with attention to species, social compatibility, study requirements, animal history, safety, and welfare. Where appropriate, social housing and structured observation help support animal well-being while maintaining research integrity.

Humane study support

Research procedures are planned with attention to refinement, appropriate restraint, anesthesia or analgesia when indicated, recovery monitoring, and clear endpoint criteria. Animal welfare and scientific validity are treated as mutually reinforcing responsibilities.

Documentation and accountability

Animal care, observations, procedures, and health events are documented to support communication among animal care, veterinary, research, quality, and sponsor teams. Good records protect the animal, the study, and the sponsor.

Lifetime care and retirement support

AGI supports responsible research by providing lifetime care and retirement services for research animals. Retirement and lifetime-care planning can be incorporated into broader colony management, study planning, and sponsor discussions.

Welfare as a research standard

AGI’s animal welfare program is designed to support both ethical responsibility and scientific reliability. The practical details matter: animals that are monitored consistently, cared for by experienced personnel, supported with appropriate enrichment, and managed through clear veterinary and operational processes are better positioned for high-quality research. This is why welfare is treated as infrastructure, not as an afterthought.
