A South Carolina research facility's secretive experiments on monkeys, involving dangerous pathogens like the Zika virus, have come to light under recent scrutiny of the lab's practices after 43 monkeys escaped earlier this year, according to a report.
Located in the Lowcountry, the Alpha Genesis research facility has faced backlash for its opaque operations and recent safety lapses, including the escape of 43 monkeys and an incident that reportedly killed 18 others due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
