Conducting science is hard enough even with your own well-equipped lab but how can you do it without one? Many companies are sub-contracting out their scientific needs and avoiding the initial capital investment and fixed costs of running a lab. The North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) offers a unique environment to do this in and Berkley is the ideal collaborating partner to take advantage of this incredible scientific asset.

Located in the sleepy town of Kannapolis, NC, about 25 min away from bustling Charlotte this regional research hub is well equipped with cutting edge instrumentation and populated with high level academic researchers. Berkley has access to and established relationships with the many universities located on campus and their principal investigators (PI’s). Nick our CSO has published with many of them and has a working knowledge of all the associated companies located at the campus.

Berkley maintains a research office at the campus and has funded and along with Nick has contributed scientifically to many of the research projects conducted on campus and on behalf of our clients. The research/product development environment offered by the NCRC is unprecedented in the area of nutrition and human health research.
