Research Cores & Labs
ACNC science is advanced through multi-disciplinary, team-based research that leverages faculty and staff talents across several Research Cores and Labs. This approach enables us to examine biology and child development at a very fundamental, molecular level (cell signaling and energetics, changes in the metabolome, epigenome, and gut microbiota) while in parallel to consider in clinical studies how these factors impact whole-body physiology, body composition, brain neurodevelopment and behavior.
