The Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University specializes in molecular nutrition research, with an emphasis on vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals (plant-based chemicals). LPI was co-founded in 1973 by Linus Pauling, Ph.D., the only individual ever to win two unshared Nobel Prizes (Chemistry, 1954; Peace, 1962). Today the mission of the institute is to conduct rigorous scientific research and share evidence-based health information on diet and supplements with the public.
