Cornell University
The Cornell Joan Klein Jacobs Center for Precision Nutrition and Health, located within the College of Human Ecology at Cornell University, is dedicated to transforming nutrition science through a multidisciplinary approach. The Center integrates precision nutrition, artificial intelligence, and technology to enhance population health by bridging individual guidance with population-level policies and translating academic research into practice. It aims to support the translational pipeline, moving scientific evidence and technologies from academic settings to the broader community.
