| It is almost impossible to list every experiment occurring at ORPRC due to the millions of dollars flowing from your wallet into the pockets of the researchers at this institution. More experiments are started almost daily as the old ones prove to be deadends and the federal government entices the scientists to try something new by offering them more money.
AXTHELM, MICHAEL K. investigates endemic diseases in the ORPRC monkey colonies.
BETHEA, CYNTHIA L. (betheac@ohsu.edu) considers the effects of estrogen on hormone production in rhesus macaques and induces experimental infection of the amniotic chamber in chronically instrumented pregnant rhesus monkeys. (Meet Cynthia!)
BRENNER, ROBERT M. investigates female reproductive system functioning in rhesus macaques and induces artificial menstrual cycles in ovarectomized juvenile rhesus macaques.
BROGAN, REBECCA S. studies lactation in primates.
CAMERON, JUDY L. (cameronj@ohsu.edu ) monitors effects of fasting and re-feeding on testosterone production in male rhesus macaques and creates stress-induced suppression of reproductive function in crab-eating macaques. (Meet Judy!)
CASEY, DANIEL E. documents the crippling side effects of anti-psychotic drugs in a group
of 39 capuchin monkeys.
CHAFFIN, CHARLES L. studies ovulation in rhesus macaques.
CONN, PAUL M. (connm@ohsu.edu) considers gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH ) action in rats and rabbits. (Meet Paul!)
EATON, G. GRAY conducts experiments dealing with the pharmacological treatment of self-biting
caused by solitary confinement in male rhesus macaques.
GRAVETT, MICHAEL G. induces birth prematurity in chronically instrumented pregnant rhesus macaques through experimental intrauterine infections. [Chronic instrumentaion is the term used when monitoring devices are permanently surgically implanted. Typically, monkeys used in this manner are permanently tethered and housed in isolation.]
GROVE, KEVIN L. (grovek@ohsu.edu): induces seizures in lactating rats.
HERMSMEYER, R. KENT (herms@ohsu.edu or rkh@compuserve.com) examines the effects of hormones on intentionally damaged coronary arteries in rhesus macaques.
HESS, DAVID L. studies the effects of lead on testicular function in rabbits. (Meet David!)
KODAMA, TOSHIAKI infects rhesus macaques with SIV.
LENTZ, STEVE documents the effects of vitamins on experimentally impaired vascular function in crab-eating macaques.
ACHIDA, CURTIS A. studies gene expression in rat and macaque heart tissue in response to various hormones and infects rhesus macaques with SIV.
MATRISIAN, LYNN M. investigates hormonal manipulation of induced menses in spayed female rhesus macaques.
MENG, LI. is cloning rhesus macaques.
NEURINGER, MARTHA (neuringe@ohsu.edu) deprives infant rhesus macaques of key nutrients and studies the results such as chronic diarrhea and neural impairment.
NOVY, MILES J. ( haluskag@ohsu.edu) is engaged in physiological studies of "unanesthetized chronically catheterized maternal-fetal preparations" ( pregnant baboons and rhesus macaques) in mobile tether assemblies.
OJEDA, SERGIO R. (ojedas@ohsu.edu) studies the effects of chronic alcohol ingestion in infant rhesus macaques. (Meet Sergio!)
RONNEKLEIV, OLINE K. (ronnekle@ohsu.edu) investigates the results of maternal cocaine addiction on neurological development in infant rhesus macaques. This is one example of the federal government's "war on drugs" which consumes funds which could have been spent on education and intervention. (Meet Oline!)
SCHATTEN, GERALD P. studies sperm-egg unions in primates and bovines.
SIMERLY, RICHARD B. studies reproductive hormones in rats.
SMITH, GARY D. compares human and rhesus sperm motility.
SMITH, M. SUSAN (ORPRC Director) (smithsu@ohsu.edu) studies effects of infant suckling on neurological activity in rats. (Meet the director!)
SPIES, HAROLD G. (spiesh@ohsu.edu) monitors hormone production in naturally ovulating or ovariectomized rhesus macaques.
SPINDEL, ELIOT R. studies gene chemistry in animal tissues.
STOUFFER, RICHARD L. studies ovarian hormones in rhesus macaques. (Meet Richie!)
STUEBER, NANCY is educating school children and the public about the dangers of substance abuse inferred from monkey experimentation. This is simple propaganda intended to justify the use of non-humans. The fact that it is aimed at children is indicative of the effort the primate researchers employ to maintain their industry.
URBANSKI, HENRYK F. studies sex hormones in female rhesus macaques. (Meet Henryk!)
WOLF, DON P. (wolfd@ohsu.edu) is cloning rhesus macaques. This "breakthrough" technology allows scientists to use identical monkeys in their experiments. (Meet Don!)
WONG, SCOTT W. infects rhesus macaques with herpes and SIV; the use of SIV infected monkeys has become a common "tool" for researchers at the NIH Regional Primate Research Centers.
VIJAYARAGHAVAN, S. explores sperm motility in cows, humans, and monkeys.
ZELINSKI - WOOTEN, MARY B. studies hormone induced contraception in
rhesus macaques.
