All the right elements.
The North Carolina Research Campus is a private-public venture created to foster collaboration and further advancements in the fields of biotechnology, nutrition, and health. While the research subjects may often be microscopic in size, the goals of NCRC are global in scale. Our vision is to become the world’s epicenter of nutrition and disease research. With intensive planning and development and a $1.5 billion investment by David H. Murdock, NCRC combines university, government, and industry research with cutting-edge equipment to create an environment with all of the right elements to generate and multiply breakthrough science and discovery.
Access to top research facilities.
In over a million square-feet of state-of-the-art lab and office space, universities and private businesses are testing, exploring and advancing scientific knowledge about plants, fruits, vegetables and the links to disease and good health. At the heart of the NCRC is the David H. Murdock Research Institute (DHMRI), which houses one of the largest and most advanced scientific equipment collections of its kind anywhere in the world that includes state-of-the-art technology in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, light microscopy, and histology.
