The University of California San Francisco's Nutrition and Obesity Research Center (UCSF NORC) is one of the eleven NIH-funded research centers, integrating multiple programs in areas of nutrition, obesity and metabolism. For almost two decades, we have actively expanded our research base in this critical subject area.
Our center's collective goal is to define the underlying mechanisms of disease and to significantly contribute to the prevention and treatment of obesity and its complications, achieving our goal by providing collective research facilities, a lecture program that fosters interactions amongst laboratories conducting cellular, animal, translational, clinical and epidemiologic research, pilot funding for new and interdisciplinary research directions, as well as an administrative infrastructure that promotes these integrative goals.
