Nutrigenetics allows us to understand how genetic variants influence metabolism. Do not hesitate any longer and become an expert in this field” 

This Postgraduate diploma details everything a health professional needs to know about Nutritional Genomics and Precision Nutrition, taking into account aspects related to Nutrigenetics. Thus, the material is organized in such a way as to advance knowledge without leaving doubts or gaps in information. It is the best training on the market, because it offers the opportunity to learn online all the innovation in the field of Nutritional Genomics. 

This Postgraduate diploma in Nutrigenetics introduces the student to this aspect, its basis, the interaction between genetic variability and diet, and how population genetics is being applied in the field of nutrition. 

In addition, the key polymorphisms that exist to date related to nutrition and human metabolic processes are presented, as well as those related to complex and chronic diseases related to nutrition and dietary habits, such as type II diabetes, hypertension, cancer, hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis.  

The main SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) that the professional will be able to use in his clinical practice are also analyzed in depth and the key studies that give scientific support to these SNPs are analyzed, presenting how this tool could prevent both the appearance and the recurrence of these diseases, laying the foundations for Nutritional Genomics and Preventive Nutrition. 

As it is an online Postgraduate diploma, the student is not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life.
