The Helfgott Research Institute is a non-profit research institute whose mission is to conduct rigorous, high quality, and professionally independent research in the public domain on the art and science of healing. Together scientists from the fields of naturopathy, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, immunology, and nutrition apply their expertise to the study of natural medicine.
Established in June of 2003 at the National College of Natural Medicine, the Helfgott Research Institute (Helfgott) has a state of the art basic science laboratory, as well as the resources to foster clinical research focused on Chinese medicine, naturopathic medicine, and energy medicine. The Helfgott has recruited several leading investigators to head research projects and provide mentorship for NCNM faculty, students, and residents who wish to conduct clinical studies. The Helfgott is well positioned to study natural therapeutics as our faculty members specialize in their clinical use. Current research projects occurring at the Helfgott include collaborations with Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU) and Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, as well as collaborations with other naturopathic schools.
