"We cannot wait for the next generation to find a solution, we must act now."

The Pennington Biomedical Research Foundation provides the Pennington Biomedical Research Center with vital funding for nutrition-based research which aims to prevent premature death from chronic diseases.

Since 1988, the mission of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center has been to promote healthier lives through research and education in nutrition and preventive medicine. As the largest academic-based nutritional research center in the world, we have the unique distinction of housing the greatest concentration of obesity research scientists.

Through the Pennington Biomedical Research Foundation, gifts from individuals, foundations and businesses are imperative to fuel the groundbreaking work of the scientists and their world-renowned work.
