Business Services: Nutrisciences and Health

Research creates new ideas and advances the frontiers of knowledge. To put this knowledge to work, stimulating innovation and wealth creation, requires an aggressive, business-oriented approach. NRC has taken this approach. We provide businesses with access to world-class information networks, leading-edge technology and valuable resources, partnerships and services.

NRC provides businesses with access to world-class technical and business expertise, extensive networks, leading-edge technology and specialized services related to functional foods and nutraceuticals research and development. Collaborators and clients range from small companies through to international pharmaceutical companies.

From Charlottetown, NRC has entered into successful collaborations and partnerships with local and international companies, industry associations, post-secondary institutions and other science-based departments and agencies.

In addition to productive industry collaborations, NRC has a tripartite collaborative research agreement permitting scientists and technicians from three organizations to share space, resources and ideas in a single facility in Charlottetown. The following two documents outline the nature of this relationship:
