Searching for the truth about the need for animals in biomedical research and how they are handled can be difficult.
In addition to our animal research links page, we collected some videos and shared them below to help in the quest to learn why, how, and when animals are needed for medical research.
Stop Hiding and Change the World!

Primates in biomedical Research: Brain-computer Interface and robotic arms, a new hope for completely paralyzed persons.
Since ancient times, Italians have been celebrated worldwide as great artists, poets, scientists and inventors. Lets just think of Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Marconi and Meucci, and, more recently, of the Nobel Laureates Montalcini or Capecchi. We in Pro-test aim to support all those minds that favour scientific and human progress. Dr. Caminiti, Professor of Human Physiology, expert in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, will explain us why primates are used in research.
