Nutrition and Obesity Research Centers

描述（由申请人提供）：MNORC的目标是支持、促进、加强和指导研究基地的研究人员寻求与营养、肥胖和相关代谢紊乱相关的重要新信息。为了支持生物医学研究的综合“团队科学”方法，需要吸引到一个中心（如MNORC）的科学人才的广度将必然需要扩大。自2006年密歇根代谢组学和肥胖中心（MMOC）成立以来，一直致力于吸引广泛的科学家的兴趣，不仅是那些对营养和肥胖感兴趣的科学家，还有那些在互补领域拥有技能的研究人员，他们可以将他们的相当大的才能用于营养和肥胖的研究。这些科学家在代谢组学、微流体学、成像、认知科学和信息学方面带来了新的思维，丰富了研讨会、专题讨论会、务虚会，最重要的是，丰富了研究项目。MNORC领导层致力于包容性政策，以扩大研究人员的思维和进一步的科学团队建设。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the MNORC is to support, facilitate, enhance and guide Research Base investigators in their quest for important new information related to nutrition, obesity and related metabolic disorders. In order to support an integrative, 'team science' approach to biomedical research, the breadth of scientific talent that needs to be attracted to a Center, such as the MNORC, will necessarily need expansion. Since the inception of the Michigan Metabolomics and Obesity Center (MMOC) in 2006, a focus has been on attracting the interest of a broad range of scientists, not only those who have a focused interest in nutrition and obesity, but also those investigators who have skills in complementary areas, who can bring their considerable talents to the study of nutrition and obesity. These latter scientists have brought new thinking in metabolomics, microfluidics, imaging, cognitive sciences and informatics that have enriched seminars, symposia, retreats and, most importantly, research programs. The MNORC leadership is committed to an inclusive policy to expand the thinking of investigators and further scientific team building.
