Research Focus
Alvaro Duque's lab at Yale focuses on studying the macaque brain, which is closely related to human brains, to understand brain development, function, and disease better. They maintain a unique collection of brain tissues from macaques that ranges from embryos to adults, allowing researchers to study various aspects of neuroscience without having to use more animals in experiments. This resource aims to promote research while ensuring ethical practices in animal studies.
