Research
Moore Family Center
We conduct research to unravel links between foods and health.
The Moore Family Center for Nutrition, Whole Grain Foods and Preventive Health is the nutrition science hub in the College of Health at Oregon State University.
The center facilitates synergies among partner researchers to advance nutrition science and train the next generation of scientists in six priority areas.
