The postgraduate certificate in Nutrigenetics will allow you to handle the molecular and neurological bases of the brain-gut connection to address the circadian control of dietary intake"

Nutrigenetics is a discipline that has established itself in the field of medicine in recent years due to the benefits it provides in the analysis of the influence that DNA has on the absorption of nutrients. Its use allows the design of dietary plans adapted to each person to prevent the acquisition of various intolerances or the development of obesity in those with a genetic tendency to these pathologies. For this reason, having a high level of skill in this nutritional field is essential for doctors who do not want to lag behind the advances in their profession.  

For this reason, TECH has developed this program, which will enable this medical professional to broaden their knowledge of the relationships between different genetic variants and their mechanisms for absorbing nutrients in different ways and promoting disease prevention. Throughout this academic period, they will analyze the SNPs that are linked to the development of Diabetes Mellitus type II or to various pathologies of a cardiovascular nature. They will also be able to detect the main GWAS that are related to obesity.  

Thanks to the 100% online methodology in which this postgraduate certificate is taught, the student will enjoy the possibility of achieving excellent learning without the need to make uncomfortable trips to study centers. Likewise, they will have at their disposal didactic resources accessible through different textual and multimedia formats, which will provide them with an education completely adapted to their educational and personal requirements.   

In only 6 weeks, you will significantly increase and update your knowledge in the field of  Nutrigenetics"

This postgraduate certificate in Nutrigenetics contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of case studies presented by experts in Nutritional Genomics and Precision Nutrition
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• The practical exercises where the self-evaluation process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

With this program, Identify the SNPs that are linked to the development of various cardiovascular pathologies in order to design a dietary plan aimed at preventing them in patients predisposed to suffer them"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.  

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow the professional a situated and contextual learning, that is, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive training programmed to train in real situations.  

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, in which the professional will have to try to solve the different professional practice situations that will arise throughout the academic course. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.     

The online system of this program will allow you to combine your personal life with an excellent learning experience” 

Detect the main GWAS that are related to obesity through this postgraduate certificate"

The postgraduate certificate in Nutrigenetics has been created with the aim of providing students with the most relevant and innovative knowledge in this area so that they can approach their patients' diseases from a different perspective. In this sense, they will master the relationship between chronobiology and nutrition or identify the SNPs linked to circadian rhythms; all this, through the monitoring of a series of general and specific objectives that TECH has designed for this program.  

This refresher program will generate a greater sense of security in the performance of your daily practice, which will help you to grow professionally in the area of Nutrigenetics”
