Nutrition, Exercise & Phenotype Testing Core

The Nutrition, Exercise and Phenotype Testing (NExT) Core's objective is to enhance and expand the research capabilities of investigators performing clinical and translational studies related to nutritional interventions, obesity, or obesity-related conditions in humans. We provide 1) bionutrition support for clinical trials and dietary assessment; 2) physical activity/exercise assessments, testing, and exercise intervention support; and 3) metabolic phenotyping services (e.g., body composition, resting metabolic rate, insulin sensitivity).
