At Alpha Genesis, we believe that responsibility to research animals does not end when a study concludes. Ethical science requires a full lifecycle commitment that includes dignified retirement, lifelong veterinary care, and environments designed for long-term well-being.

 

As research priorities shift and funding landscapes change, many institutions face increasing challenges in maintaining aging nonhuman primate colonies. Alpha Genesis provides a research animal retirement and lifetime care service that ensures these animals continue to receive expert care in professionally managed, USDA-licensed facilities. Care is delivered by experienced veterinary, behavioral, and husbandry teams.

 

Because Alpha Genesis operates with large, purpose-built colonies and fully integrated infrastructure, the company is able to provide this care at a cost significantly lower than fragmented or ad hoc alternatives, including external sanctuaries. This model allows sponsors and agencies to meet ethical obligations while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

 

This approach also serves the national interest. Maintaining a stable and well-cared for domestic nonhuman primate population preserves critical United States research capacity, safeguards institutional knowledge, and prevents irreversible loss of animals and expertise that would be extraordinarily difficult and expensive to replace. By keeping animals within the regulated research ecosystem, Alpha Genesis supports continuity, readiness, and long-term resilience of the United States biomedical research enterprise.

 

At its core, the research animal retirement program reflects a simple principle. Compassion and responsibility can be delivered at scale.
