Describe basic concepts of nutritional genomics
Gain knowledge on interactions between genes, diet, lifestyle and disease
Learn role of nutrients and bioactive food components on gene expression
The field of nutritional genomics has been active in research for the past decade. As a result of the Human Genome Project we have a greater understanding of how an individual's genetic makeup relates to their health and risk for disease. We are not far from having the ability to individualized MNT treatment for an individual based on their genetic susceptibilities and environmental influences.
