When Catawba College transferred state-of-the-art instrumentation to the NRI, it opened the door to expanding research capabilities for NRI scientists and real-life lab experience for Catawba students. The NRI will use the equipment to further its research into how metabolism and nutrition requirements are individualized.
May 31, 2013 – Researchers at the NRI are studying nutrition in a new way, discovering how diet and exercise affect health and help prevent chronic disease. Strengthened associations between individualized nutrition and enhanced health will have a global impact.
A generous gift from the Dickson Foundation and Harris Teeter will be matched by funds from the North Carolina Distinguished Professors Endowment Trust to create the NRI’s first endowed, distinguished professorship, The Dickson Foundation-Harris Teeter Distinguished Professorship in Nutrition.
