Precision nutrition and nutriomics

10.Mar - 12. Mar, 2025 Cod. O01-25

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.

Dr. Begoña de Cuevillas García has completed a Bachelor's degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics (UCM) and a Master's degree in Food, Nutrition, and Metabolism (UNAV). Additionally, she has a PhD in Nutrition, Food Science and Physiology, focusing her research on studying the different risk factors accompanying obesity and associated comorbidities, such as dietary and sleep patterns, physical activity, gut microbiota, and/or quality of life, in both pediatric and adult populations, in order to facilitate the personalization and precise management of overweight and excessive adiposity. Additionally, their participation in projects such as the Childhood Obesity Risk Assessment Longitudinal Study (CORALs) demonstrates a commitment to applied clinical research that can have a direct impact on public health. The originality of their research lies in the exploration of new avenues to address urgent public health issues, such as obesity and its associated complications, using health determinants like intestinal microbiota. Furthermore, the credibility of their research is reflected not only in publication in scientific journals but also in presentations at both national and international conferences.
