Scientists founded the information platform “Pro-Test Deutschland” in early June.

This is an association of active, mainly young researchers, most currently working on their PhD thesis. Their research often relies on animal experiments and they want to publicly talk about it, how and why such research is performed and how the animals fare during the experiments.

The new edition of the brochure “Research Highlights” has been published. It presents the most exciting results, DPZ researchers achieved in 2014.

21 girls and boys visited the German Primate Center on 23 April. During their visit, they learned how neuroprosthetics are developed at the DPZ, how rhesus monkeys are trained and that DNA can glow under a microscope.

On April 13, a special issue of the British scientific journal “Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B”, which is based on the presentations held at the 9th “Göttinger Freilandtage” 2013, will be released online.
