Description

This austral summer course focuses on developing topics in nutrition and health with emphasis on personalized (individualized) and precision (multifactorial) nutrition. Topics will include original presentations of nutrition-related scientific data on topics related to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiometabolic disorders and cancer. In addition, the course program will include a series of keynote presentations on personalized nutrition and nutriomics topics by international scientists and researchers emphasizing the applications of precision nutrition supported by genomic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, metagenomic and metabolomic methods and their bioinformatics integration for their application in the nutrition-health relationship.

Objectives

This austral summer course aims to cover the following objectives:

Introduction to the applications of omics methodologies (genomics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, metagenomics and metabolomics) for their application for healthy metabolism and precision nutrition.
Presentation of precision nutrition and nutriomics research by young researchers, doctoral students and young postdocs.
Development of current topics by prestigious nutritionists for their implementation in health maintenance as well as in the prevention and treatment of chronic metabolic diseases.
