Olive baboons are a large-bodied Old World primate model with an established role in cardiovascular, metabolic, reproductive, and infectious-disease research. Alpha Genesis supports GLP and non-GLP studies and qualified animal supply under AAALAC-accredited, USDA-licensed facility standards, serving North American and global development programs.
Papio anubis shares close physiological, cardiovascular, metabolic, and reproductive similarity with humans, and its large body size supports serial sampling, larger biospecimen volumes, and surgical and interventional procedures that are difficult in smaller species. Baboons have a long, well-documented record in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular research, metabolic syndrome and diabetes models, reproductive and developmental biology, transplantation research, genetics and genomics, and selected infectious-disease programs.
Alpha Genesis brings decades of primate program experience to its baboon work, with the veterinary depth, behavioral management, and species-specific enrichment that a large, cognitively complex Old World primate requires, because excellent welfare is fundamental to excellent science. Animals are cared for by primate specialists who pair social housing and enrichment with documented health monitoring, care that protects both animal wellbeing and data integrity. Operations are AAALAC accredited, USDA registered, OLAW assured, and supported by IACUC oversight and experienced veterinary care, with study documentation consistent with internationally recognized GLP expectations.
Olive baboon study support and supply are available for research clients, with scope and cohort specifications confirmed during protocol review. Worldwide shipping and cross-border supply support are available for multinational sponsors, and all supply and logistics are conducted with full veterinary, regulatory, transportation, import/export, permitting, and animal-welfare documentation.
Olive baboons are used across research missions where a large, physiologically human-relevant Old World primate provides scientific value. We support the following segments.
Sponsors requiring a large-bodied primate model for cardiovascular, metabolic, and reproductive endpoints, surgical and interventional procedures, or PK/PD and safety work where body size and physiological relevance are advantageous, supporting North American and global development programs.
Investigator-led and grant-funded programs in cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, reproductive biology, genetics, and neuroscience requiring a characterized baboon model and biospecimen access.
Biodefense, infectious-disease countermeasure, and transplantation programs requiring documented colony health, biosafety compliance, and long-term program support.
Contract research organizations seeking baboon access, in-life study support, surgical capability, or biospecimen collection to complement their own program offerings.
Olive baboons support research applications where their body size, physiology, and human-relevant disease biology provide scientific value not readily replicated in smaller species.
Program engagement can be structured around study execution, animal supply, or combined services. Scope, timeline, and feasibility are confirmed during protocol review.
Full in-life study support from animal assignment through in-life procedures, data collection, necropsy, and sample delivery. GLP and non-GLP options available for qualified protocols.
Supply of health-screened olive baboons meeting sponsor specifications. Worldwide shipping and cross-border supply support are available for multinational sponsors, and all deliveries are conducted with full veterinary, regulatory, transportation, and import/export documentation.
Biospecimen collection from study or colony animals, client-owned colony boarding, and long-term colony support for sustained research programs.
Reliable preclinical data require more than protocol adherence, they require a facility culture built on SOP-driven veterinary medicine, behavioral welfare, and sponsor audit readiness.
Compliance is expected; how animals are cared for is what differentiates a primate program. Decades of veterinary and behavioral expertise make welfare a driver of data quality in our baboon program, with formal accreditation and oversight providing the backing.
A large-bodied Old World primate program supported by decades of primate husbandry experience, enabling serial sampling, larger biospecimen volumes, and surgical and interventional procedures under continuous veterinary oversight.
GLP and non-GLP study designs are available for research clients, supporting programs from early investigation through IND-enabling stages within a single, experienced facility, with documentation consistent with internationally recognized GLP expectations to support global development programs.
On-site veterinary staff with primate expertise provide clinical oversight, protocol review input, procedure execution, and welfare assurance throughout study conduct.
AAALAC-accredited, USDA-licensed, and OLAW-assured operations with sponsor audit readiness, structured documentation, and SOP-driven processes across all study phases.
The ability to supply animals and conduct in-life studies within the same organization reduces logistical handoffs, supports timeline predictability, and preserves data integrity.
Program managers, study directors, and primate technicians with experience across cardiovascular, metabolic, reproductive, and infectious-disease research provide scientific and operational continuity.
Olive baboon supply is available for research clients. We support cohort requirements including cross-border supply for multinational sponsors, with worldwide shipping arranged as needed. All supply is conducted with full veterinary, regulatory, transportation, import/export, permitting, and animal-welfare documentation. Contact us to confirm cohort specifications and timeline.
Our team is available to review your protocol objectives, discuss animal availability, and assess program fit for cardiovascular, metabolic, reproductive, and infectious-disease research in a large Old World primate model.
