Topgenebio is one of the earliest enterprises in China to engage in the breeding of non-human primates

Topgenebio is one of the earliest enterprises in China to engage in the breeding of non-human primates, with the number and quality of its experimental monkeys ranking among the top in the industry. We currently have over 10,000 experimental monkey resources, covering multiple non-human primate species including rhesus monkeys, cynomolgus monkeys, common marmosets, and pig-tailed macaques. We have established a professional breeding base, with its animal housing facilities optimized and constructed in accordance with AAALAC and other international standards. All animals have clear genetic backgrounds, complete and well-maintained pedigree records, and undergo regular quarantine. Additionally, the company has an experienced animal care team to ensure animal welfare and research quality.

Rhesus Monkey

The rhesus monkey is the most representative species of the genus Macaca. It possesses physiological metabolism and tissue structure highly similar to those of humans, with extremely high genetic homology. It serves as an irreplaceable "surrogate" in human disease modeling, vaccine development, drug safety evaluation, and brain science research.

Cynomolgus Monkey

Named for its habit of foraging for crabs and shellfish along the shoreline at low tide. It has a slender, elongated tail and cheek pouches for storing food. This species is considered the "gold standard" animal for non-clinical drug safety evaluation (toxicology studies) and is widely used in disease modeling for diabetes, Parkinson's disease, renal failure, and immunology-related research.

Marmoset

The marmoset is one of the smallest primates in the world. With its small body size and relatively short reproductive cycle, it is a star animal in neuroscience and brain function research. It is particularly well‑suited for awake brain imaging, gene‑editing modeling, and reproductive biology studies.

Pig-tailed Macaque

Its head features a radiating pattern of short hairs, forming a flat‑top crew‑cut‑like appearance, and its tail is short and thin, resembling that of a pig. In addition to routine pharmacological and toxicological studies, the pig‑tailed macaque holds unique value in establishing animal models of viral hepatitis and HIV/AIDS due to its specific susceptibility to certain pathogens.
