Introduction to the Program
Master, with this program, the latest methods to analyze MicroRNAs and detect a possible development of a pathology of various kinds"
Epigenetics is a scientific field that, after numerous advances in research, has reached a remarkable development in recent years. In this sense, its current lines of study are focused on its use in cancer as a method to predict the possible growth of the tumor and to optimize the evolution of the oncological patient. Its innumerable advantages in the approach of complex diseases make it possible that the future prospects of this discipline are excellent, offering physicians with high skills in its handling access to prestigious positions in the health care field.
For this reason, TECH has developed this Postgraduate certificate, through which the medical professional will significantly enhance their knowledge in the area of Epigenetics to respond with solvency to all the present and future challenges of this scientific branch in continuous growth. Therefore, throughout this academic period, they will identify the MicroRNAs involved in metabolism or those related to the possible development of diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. They will also handle gene variants that generate or destroy binding sites for MicroRNAs, observing exhaustively their results in different human pathologies.
Since this academic program is taught through a 100% online methodology, students will be able to perfectly combine excellent learning with their personal and professional duties. Additionally, this program has been expressly designed by experts who are actively practicing in the field of Nutrirional Genomics, so all the knowledge that they will assimilate will be fully updated.

Postgraduate Certificate in Epigenetics
What determines the activation or inactivation of genes when the DNA sequence is not altered? The answer is not limited only to embryonic processes, nor is it a matter for scientists related to evolutionary biology and its multiple variants, since one of the environmental factors that has an impact on this dilemma is food. Few academic programs offer the option to delve into this particularity, and that is why TECH Global University, leaders in online educational innovation, offers the Postgraduate Certificate in Epigenetics, a proposal supported from the advantages of virtuality where the student can access specific tools and skills that address the interdisciplinary development of genetics and nutrition. Why demarcate the competencies of nutrition only in terms of digestive systems and food processes when there is an unexplored terrain that can be exploited curricularly? By enrolling with us you will be able to update yourself in light of the latest scientific advances in the field, as well as direct your steps towards one of the sciences that will have significant weight in the future: genetics.
Genes and nutrition, a fascinating field
Epigenetics is defined as the science that studies the expression of genes, but without this leading to a sequential restructuring of DNA. Environmental factors such as drugs, various chemicals to which the body is exposed, exercise and even diet can determine a phenotype. Is the way we eat a genetic inheritance for our grandchildren? The content seen throughout the course answers this question, while also addressing other topics of interest such as the role of MicroRNAs (small regulators of gene expression) in diabetic, cardiovascular and obesity diseases. The philosopher and biologist Ludwig Feuerbach said that "we are what we eat", under this premise, there is a long way to go if we want to generate an impact that leads to optimize healthy life in the future. With the program we offer you, you have at hand the formula to exercise it. Don't settle for little, aspire to greatness with TECH.
