Professional Master's Degree in Genomic and Precision Nutrition
One of the essential components in a person is the human genome, which is composed of the DNA sequence of 23 pairs of chromosomes; as part of this organism is nutritional genomics, a discipline specialized in studying the relationship between the human genome, health and nutrition. Within this system is also nutrigenomics, a sub-branch focused on nutrition as a basic factor in maintaining a healthy life. With the motivation to provide all the general knowledge about this area, in TECH we designed a Professional Master's Degree in Genomic and Precision Nutrition created especially for pharmacists who wish to specialize in this area. By developing this highly trained online postgraduate course, they will be able to approach the trajectory of this novel field and the key studies that contributed to its development; in addition, they will be able to know in which pathologies and human life conditions this type of technology can be applied. Therefore, they will be able to evaluate the individual response to nutrition and dietary patterns designed to prevent diseases.
Be an expert in dealing with genomics and its derivatives.
At TECH we have the most complete curriculum in the sector designed with innovative scientific evidence.
