Overview
SILABE is a unique, university-affiliated NHP research platform with over three decades of operation, positioning it as a key European resource for preclinical research. It operates a hybrid model, offering contract research services while also hosting permanent academic research teams focused on cognitive neuroscience and primate behavior. The platform's work is validated by high-impact publications in journals like Nature Medicine and Science Translational Medicine, demonstrating its critical role in advancing therapeutics for infectious diseases, ophthalmology, and metabolic conditions.
Technology Platform
Integrated non-human primate (NHP) research platform featuring a multi-species primate colony housed in semi-free-range conditions, coupled with full preclinical service capabilities (PK/PD, efficacy, surgery) and an embedded academic research team specializing in primate ethology and cognitive neuroscience.

Competitive Landscape
Operates in a niche with high barriers to entry. Competes with other European academic primate centers (e.g., BPRC in Netherlands) and CROs offering NHP services. Differentiation lies in its university-based fundamental research integration, focus on ethology, and semi-free-range housing, appealing to a specific segment of academic and translational research.
