title: Duke University Primate Center.
abstract: The Duke University Primate Center houses the world's largest collection of prosimian primates. The Center is a research resource for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty from Duke University and other U.S. and international universities. Researchers have access to the animals for noninvasive studies, to a large collection of preserved tissues and cadavers, and to an extensive collection of Eocene and Oligocene fossils. The Center is also involved in conservation programs in Madagascar which provide opportunities for field research in primatology and conservation.
