Lovelace is partnered with New York Medical College and Touro University, located in Vallejo, CA (and Nevada).

“Lovelace has three campuses in Albuquerque comprising over 375,000 square feet of research lab space and receives more than $70 million per year in grants and contracts. The Institute has published thousands of research papers and employs 400 physicians, scientists and researchers.” Dr. Alan Kadish, President Touro University, also sits on Lovelace’s Board of Directors. https://www.touro.edu/news–events/stories/noted-biomedical-research-institute-joins-touro-university.php

Robert W. Rubin, Ph.D is their president. Here is a link to Lovelace Biomedical Research’s Leadership: https://www.lovelacebiomedical.org/our-leadership/

Over 2,000 animals were used in experiments in 2022 (the last year on record); of these, 1,000 non-human primates were used in experimentation:

Of these, nearly 300 non-human primates used in painful experimentation:

From a November 2019 APHIS Enforcement Action:

“9 C.F.R.§ 2.33(b)(3)Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care. Each research facility shall establish and maintain programs of adequate veterinary care that include daily observation of all animals to assess their health and well being; Provided, however, that daily observation of animals may be accomplished by someone other than the attending veterinarian; and provided further, that a mechanism of direct and frequent communication is required so that timely and accurate information on problems of animal health, behavior, and well-being is conveyed to the attending veterinarian.”

Lovelace failed to conduct daily observations of animals that adequately assessed their health and well-being. On October 7, 2019, a two-and-a-half-year-old male cynomolgus macaque was found dead in it’s enclosure. (NHP 3003-Y00523). The necropsy report found marked dehydration, little to no visceral fat, overall thin body condition and prominently recessed eyes. Daily monitoring by LBRI failed to adequately identify indicators of poor health and well-being that contributed to the death of the animal.
