... Capuano provided veterinary care for a large colony of macaques (200) and acted as collaborator and co-investigator on numerous protocols involving a variety of infectious agents (e.g., simian immunodeficiency virus, human papillomavirus, human influenza virus, mycobacterium tuberculosis, listeria monocytogenes, pneumocystis carinii, and trypanosoma cruzi)
From page 96...
... He has been the PI of an NIH postdoctoral training grant for veterinarians for 28 years and has trained 80 veterinarians, physicians, and PhDs for careers in biomedical research. He also has an NIH training grant for veterinary students and has introduced more than 120 veterinary students to careers in biomedical research.

... Her body of work includes NHP models of neurological disorders, gene and cell-based therapies for Parkinson's, and the development of conceptual frameworks for ethical clinical translation of novel treatments. In 2004, she became faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where today she is Professor of Medical Physics and directs the Preclinical Parkinson's Research Program at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center.

... He completed the laboratory animal medicine residency at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and became a diplomate of ACLAM in 2012. He directed the behavioral management program at NIH's Division of Veterinary Resources from 2014–2016 before returning to Johns Hopkins.
From page 99...
... Abbott has explored the molecular underpinnings of female marmoset sexual behavior, to better inform therapeutic development aimed at ameliorating sexual dysfunction in women. Building on his knowledge of female primate ovarian cycles, he has collaborated to develop two rhesus macaque models for the highly prevalent infertility and diabetogenic polycystic ovary syndrome in women: fetal testosterone programming and naturally occurring hyperandrogenism.

... Prior to her training at MIT, she received her DVM degree from the Cummings School ­ of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University and completed her undergraduate work at Tufts University. Her clinical and research interests include primate reproductive biology and assisted reproductive technologies.
From page 101...
... Fitz completed an ACLAM-approved postdoctoral residency in Laboratory Animal Medicine at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center and the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Medicine and Public Health.
From page 102...
... She completed a Clinical Laboratory Animal Medicine Residency at Johns Hopkins University and was granted the title of diplomate from ACLAM. She has worked with common marmosets at both Johns Hopkins University and the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center.
From page 103...
... Dr. Levine completed postdoctoral training at the Oregon National Primate Research Center and Oregon Health & Science University.
From page 104...
... Having her research based in Brazil since 2011, she studies Callithrix evolutionary biology using genomic, genetic, metagenomic, and morphometric approaches to better understand (1) how hybridization and divergence between closely related species affect genome evolution and biodiversity; (2)
