SCGE Administrative Supplement

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The Nonhuman Primate Testing Center for Evaluation of Somatic Cell Genome Editing Tools supports studies with nonhuman primates that will advance the genome editing field, and significantly contributes to the future translation of these technologies for the treatment of human disease. The Nonhuman Primate Testing Center

includes a robust team and partnerships that capitalize on major strengths including the California National Primate Research Center, Genome Center, and Clinical and Translational Science Center. The Nonhuman Primate Testing Center offers state-of-the-art capabilities for Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) awardees

to conduct high quality research in nonhuman primates. The Testing Center leverages a supportive framework that has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to providing research opportunities and collaborations to investigators nationwide. Through this powerful infrastructure the Testing Center fosters partnerships with

SCGE awardees through provision of expertise, resources, and collaborative opportunities that accelerate their research, and ensures synergism across the SCGE Consortium and with ongoing interactions with the Dissemination and Coordinating Center. This supplement provides equipment that addresses the basic

functions of the Testing Center and the provision of services to investigators across the SCGE Consortium.
