Since its inception, the Nutrition Research Institute, located in Kannapolis, North Carolina, has been committed to conducting innovative basic and translational science supporting the paradigm that understanding individual differences in requirements and responses to diet will advance nutrition science. We believe that these advances constitute the path to success in preventing or mitigating the deleterious effects of chronic diseases and aging, as well as for improving development-related outcomes.

Vision: Our vision is to use scientific discovery to ensure optimal health through individualized nutrition.

Mission: To enhance understanding of health and human development through greater knowledge of how genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic mechanisms affect people’s requirements for and responses to nutrition.

The North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis is a 350-acre research center located just north of Charlotte, NC. Corporations, universities and healthcare organizations have forged a public-private partnership that is transforming science at the intersection of human health, nutrition and agriculture by advancing the boundaries of research and development, addressing human disease through new approaches to prevention and treatment, educating the next generation of scientists and medical professionals, and driving the local economy.

The DHMRI is located on the North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) just north of Charlotte, in Kannapolis, NC.

Founded by Dole Foods Chairman and visionary David H. Murdock, our aim is to provide scientific expertise and advanced instrumentation to collaborators focused on transforming science at the intersection of human health, nutrition and agriculture. We provide CRO services to companies, institutions and researchers throughout the world and for the NCRC’s university, corporate and healthcare partners.

We operate on the belief that no single science or platform provides comprehensive analysis to allow confident decision making. That belief empowers the adoption and incorporation of a multidisciplinary, integrated approach that includes genomics, analytical sciences, cellular sciences and bioinformatics resulting in research that exceeds the expectations of our partners and clients.
