UNC Chapel Hill: Nutrition Research Institute

Using advanced genomic and metabolomic biotechnology, the new Nutrition Research Institute (NRI) will develop innovative approaches to understanding the role of diet and activity in normal brain development, cancer prevention, and the prevention and treatment of obesity. The Institute will study individual metabolic variations to develop nutrition solutions that are targeted to the individual, allowing healthcare professionals to be patient-specific rather than generic in treatment.
