Primate Data Science

As an internationally unique center of excellence and reference, the German Primate Center (DPZ) plays an essential role in the further development and standardization of scientific and methodological approaches to the collection and evaluation of animal-related data and in ensuring the highest animal welfare standards. Our research with primates involves a combination of behavioral, physiological, imaging, and genetic data. Such data sets allow categorically novel questions and scientific approaches.

The central task of the service platform Primate Data Science (PRIDAS) is developing and providing data science services, processing and analysis methods, as well as management of highly complex multimodal data.  It supports scientific research by implementing innovative data science approaches in a wide range of scientific questions, developing and implementing applications, databases, data management and open science in close cooperation with the research projects at the DPZ.
