Welcome to UW - Center for Obesity Research (UW-COR)

As we move ahead following our planning stage, the Exploratory Center for Obesity Research is now officially the University of Washington Center for Obesity Research (UW-COR). Our mission is still to foster research that integrates the biomedical, public health, and policy aspects of the obesity epidemic. We are working to create interdisciplinary research teams and cross-agency collaborations to leverage the strengths, concepts, and skills of multiple areas of expertise in order to pursue innovative systems-level strategies for obesity prevention.
