Fatty Acid Research Institute

The Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI) is a non-profit research organization dedicated to discovering and publishing health evidence for fatty acids. Founded in 2020 by Dr. William S. Harris, a leading expert in omega-3 research, the institute focuses on the physiological roles of long-chain fatty acids in human health. FARI conducts original clinical research and meta-analyses to better understand how fatty acid levels, particularly the Omega-3 Index, correlate with disease risk. Their work spans multiple therapeutic areas, including cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and maternal-fetal outcomes. By collaborating with academic institutions and clinical researchers globally, FARI aims to provide the scientific foundation for nutritional recommendations and public health policies.
