Description
1. Nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics: importance for functional foods and
personalized nutrition • Variations in solute transporter genes affecting
micronutrient solute transport and human health • Genetic variants in the
omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acid metabolic pathways : their role in the
determination of nutritional requirements and chronic disease risk
2. Modulating the disease through nutrigenetics: • Modulating the risk of
cardiovascular disease through nutrigenetics • Modulating the risk of obesity
and diabetes through nutrigenetics • Nutrigenetics and Crohn’s disease
3. Microbiome and host interactions in inflammatory bowel diseases : relevance
for personalized nutrition 4. Important tools for assessing state of health and
risk of diseases in nutrigenomics research: • Transcriptomics: an important tool
for assessing state of health and risk of disease in nutrigenomics research
• Proteomics: an important tool for assessing state of health and risk of
disease in nutrigenomics research • Metabolomics: an important tool for
assessing state of health and risk of disease in nutrigenomics research
• Epigenetics: what role could this play in functional foods and personalised
nutrition? • Data mining and network analysis: potential importance in
nutrigenomics 5. Foodomics to study efficacy of human dietary interventions:
proof of principle study 6. Nutrigenomics and public health
