FSN 587 - Nutrigenomics

Prerequisites, BIOL 208, BCHM 335. Nutrigenomics is the study of the interaction between food and genes. In the course, we will investigate how components of diet regulate human metabolism through molecular mechanisms and discern whether dietary requirements vary based on genotype. Further, we will explore the associated implications for clinical practice, food production, and policy development. (Offered fall semester, alternate years.) 3 credits
