O3 Research Institute

The Omega-3 Research Institute, Inc. (O3RI) is an independent, not-for-profit corporation devoted to facilitation of research, communication and education on omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). O3RI pursues the elucidation and understanding of the functions and mechanisms by which omega-3 PUFAs exert their physiologic effects in nutrition, prevention of disease and therapeutics. It also seeks to reach a better understanding of the roles omega-3 PUFAs play as essential fatty acids (EFAs) among saturated, monounsaturated (MUFA) and other PUFAs, such as the omega-6s (n-6). O3RI strives to facilitate communication among scientists in the appropriate fields, to foster research and development and to educate professionals, the public and officials of the roles of omega-3 PUFA in health and disease.
