The overall objective of the Nutrition, Exercise and phenotype Testing (NExT) core of MNORC
(formerly the “Human Phenotyping Core” (HPC) is to enhance and expand the research
capabilities of MNORC investigators performing clinical and translational studies related to
nutrition, obesity, and/or obesity-related disorders in humans.
The NExT core accomplishes this goal by:
1) providing consultation services to translational, clinical and population-based
investigators regarding appropriate assessment, testing and/or intervention approaches
for their studies related to nutrition, physical activity/exercise, obesity, or obesity-related cardiometabolic disorders
2) offering expertise and infrastructure for sophisticated and standardized
physiologic testing of human subjects, including children and adults
3) providing services to directly assist researchers to conduct their nutritional and/or physical activity/exercise
interventions in human subjects, and
4) assisting in the development of new techniques or acquire new technologies for human metabolic phenotyping.
Physical activity/exercise assessments, testing, and exercise intervention support through the Physical Activity Laboratory (PAL).
