With this program, you will increase your skills in the use of methods such as High-Throughput or Real-Time PCR for genetic studies"

Nutritional Genomics has progressively established itself in the field of Medicine as an effective method to prevent various diseases or to establish their treatment. As a result, the techniques used in the laboratory for the elaboration of genetic studies have evolved significantly, seeking to carry them out in a short interval of time and with a superlative level of accuracy. Given that the success not only of the analysis, but also the optimization of subsequent therapy with the patient will depend on this work, doctors must be aware of these advances and apply them correctly in their daily work in order to perfect their professional development in the world of Nutritional Genomics.

Faced with this situation, TECH has opted to create this program, with which the student will adopt the innovative laboratory techniques that allow the realization of DNA studies in an agile, simple way and with excellent results to subsequently successfully adapt the diet to the genetic particularities of each person. During 6 weeks of intensive learning, they will assimilate the most updated DNA sequencing protocols or they will thoroughly handle the biomarkers of Metabolomics or Metagenomics. They will also use the most advanced bioinformatics programs and tools for the retrieval and storage of the genetic data obtained.

Thanks to the 100% online methodology that characterizes this postgraduate certificate, the student will be able to manage their own time as they wish in order to achieve a completely efficient learning process. Additionally, they will have access to educational content available in media such as complementary readings or explanatory video, so that they can adapt their teaching to their particular study requirements.
