Abstract
Nutrigenomics - toward personalized nutrition?Breakthroughs in biology recently led nutrition scientists to apply modern tools (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, genetics, epigenetics) to the analysis of the interactions of food with humans. The lecture presents these tools and illustrates their application in selected topics relevant to human nutrition and food sciences.
Objective
- Overall understanding of the transdisciplinary research being conducted under the term nutrigenomics. - Overall understating of the omics technologies used in nutrigenomics and their applications to human nutrition and food science. - Ability to critically evaluate the potential and risks associated with the field of nutrigenomics
Content
- For the content of the script see section "Skript" below - The lecture is completed by presentations of the students (in group) of material related to the lecture.
