Master, with this program, the relationship between genetics and environmental factors for the development of complex diseases in different types of patients"

Over the last decade, Genomic Nutrition has progressively gained ground in medical consultations due to the benefits it offers, according to the numerous investigations carried out in this field. In this line, it makes it possible to adapt the diet to the genetic particularities of each person and their natural predisposition to suffer from various diseases, with the aim of minimizing the risk of contracting them or favoring their adequate control. Since its application has a positive impact on the patient's well-being, physicians must manage this discipline in order to provide high quality care.

For this reason, TECH has developed this Postgraduate certificate, through which the student will assimilate the most relevant and updated knowledge in the area of Nutritional Genomics and Precision Nutrition, as well as a review of its current situation and its presence in health institutions. During this academic period, they will identify the influence of genetics and environmental factors in the development of complex diseases and will adopt the findings of the main studies carried out in the field of Human Nutrition and Genomics. Additionally, they will determine the quality criteria of nutrigenetic tests or will master the ethical and legal aspects of this discipline.

Because this program is taught through a 100% online methodology, the student will perfectly combine their personal and professional duties with an excellent learning experience. Likewise, this program is designed by cutting-edge experts in the field of Nutritional Genomics and Precision Nutrition, who will provide you with knowledge that is most in tune with the latest developments in this area.
