Description:
The entrance of a converted sugar mill belonging to Yale University, June 20, 2002, known as the Biomedical Research Foundation is situated outside of Basseterre, St. Kitts on June 20, 2002. Yale's St. Kitts facility uses the island's vervet monkeys in stem cell research, Parkinson's disease research, alcoholism, epilepsy, gene therapy and neuro-degenerational disorders. The monkeys were first brought over by the British as pets and soon escaped. Monkey trappers scour the island attempting to trap the green vervet monkeys. Yale's St. Kitts Biomedical Research Foundation pays trappers $50-$150 depending on specific requirements for research.
