All about genomic nutrition in a single Professional Master's Degree

What is the link between nutrition and genes? Let's see: high-protein foods such as fish, chickpeas or eggs help the body metabolize phenylalanine: one of the nine amino acids vital for the proper functioning of the body. When there is an anomaly that prevents the optimal processing of this molecule, it degrades into a neurotoxin and begins to affect cognitive processes. This is when genetic diseases of the oligophrenic type arise. It is known that artificial sweeteners in certain foods can impair the metabolization of phenylalanine and this is just one of the many examples linking food and genetics. By studying this Professional Master's Degree you will learn both laboratory techniques for genomic nutrition and principles of metabolomics-proteomics. Different theoretical outlines will broaden your level of performance. The self-regulating classes, the simulated environment where practical cases are analyzed and the experienced faculty will exceed your expectations. Try it for yourself by enrolling now.
