About NCRC
The North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) in Kannapolis, North Carolina, is a 350-acre research center located just north of Charlotte. The campus is a scientific community that collaboratively works to empower human health through nutrition and clinical research. Eight universities including Appalachian State University, the David H. Murdock Research Institute, companies and entrepreneurs focus research and development on safer, more nutritious crops, healthier foods, precision nutrition and clinical research.
Research and product development are collaborative and multi-disciplinary. Focus areas are as varied and the growing base of scientific knowledge combines new understandings of how nutrients, plant phytochemicals, the environment and lifestyle choices impact brain and fetal development, cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, fatty liver and other metabolic disorders.
