Nutrigenomic and Nutrigenetic Course (university degree + 8 ECTS credits)

There are currently many diseases whose origin can be placed in many cases in poor diet. At the beginning of the 21st century, the interaction between genes and nutrients began to relate more clearly according to disciplines such as epigenetics. Taking this into account, nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics arise from the need to improve health and offer more specialized nutritional guidelines. The course in Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics collects the main modifications in the genome, especially from an epigenetic perspective to understand the functioning of certain diseases. You will have personalized attention from a teaching team specialized in the area, with an autonomous and flexible study methodology.

- Study the latest scientific milestones in the field of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics. - Relate food with epigenetics. - Know what diseases have a close relationship with eating habits. - Understand the molecular bases of aging - Relate food with intestinal microbiota. - Identify the main nutrigenomic research techniques

Develop your professional career specializing in this area. This course in Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics will complement your previous training. It will train you to apply this knowledge in your nutritional guidelines if you have the university degree of Dietetics and Nutrition or you are Higher Technician in Dietetics and have adequate technical equipment

With the course in Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics you will relate food to our genome understanding that the modifications suffered may imply an appearance of certain diseases. With this knowledge you will acquire the ability to develop much more personalized diets taking into account the importance of this nutritional practice and developing skills in a new nutritional practice.
