Research Facilities

  • lab
Our recently renovated research space houses the MU Nutritional Center for Health (MUNCH), which includes a metabolic kitchen, a teaching kitchen and an observational food-choice behavior lab. This project received substantial help from the J.R. Albert Foundation.

In addition to MUNCH, a new human research facility allows studies of the interactions of exercise and diet on metabolism, human performance and development or prevention of disease.

Additional facilities include the human exercise physiology lab, lab space for clinical testing, body composition assessment including BODPOD and DXA, and an exercise training facility to train human subjects. We also have a wet lab space for chemical analysis.
