Following up on a whistleblowers call, PETA’s investigation of Caucaseco Scientific Research Center has resulted in the lab’s shutdown, and its defunding by the National Institutes of Health. A foreign lab funded by NIH? Yes. 

Caucaseco was already paid more than $17 million. And it’s just one of nearly 800 foreign labs NIH is funding to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Get the update and hear from Dr. Magnolia Martinez, PETA lead researcher who worked for nearly two years to expose Caucaseco’s activities.
