The U.S. Deptartment of Transportation is investigating allegations Elon Musk's brain-implant research company, Neuralink, illegally transported hazardous pathogens.
The advocacy group says it obtained emails and documents that suggest the unsafe packaging and movement of implants removed from the brains of monkeys. "We are conducting an investigation to ensure that Neuralink is in full compliance with federal regulations and keeping their workers and the public safe from potentially dangerous pathogens," the spokesperson said.Representatives for Neuralink, including Musk, did not respond to comment requests.
The PCRM, which opposes the use of animals in medical research, claims the pathogens — such as the antibiotic-resistant staphylococcus and herpes B virus — were carried on removed implants from monkeys after improper sanitization and packaging.The group said those pathogens could cause serious health issues in infected humans, such as bloodstream infections, pneumonia and severe brain damage, among other problems.
The incidents allegedly happened in 2019, when Neuralink relied on University of California, Davis to help carry out its experiments on primates, according to the documents cited by the animal-rights group.
