Current Research and Services
Research programs at the Linus Pauling Institute investigate the roles that vitamins and essential minerals (micronutrients) and chemicals from plants (phytochemicals) play in human aging, immune function, and chronic disease. The goal of these studies is to understand the mechanisms by which diet, micronutrients, and dietary supplements affect disease initiation and progression and can be used in the prevention or treatment of human diseases, thereby enhancing lifespan and healthspan.
For details on specific research projects, see the individual pages of the Institute's Principal Investigators.
