Objectives
Nutrition is an interdisciplinary subject that is highly complex due to the interactions between nutrients and the body. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of nutrition suggest that these complex interactions influence the health and disease trajectories of individuals, which has led to the emerging concept of precision nutrition. This course aims to provide learners with understanding of the scientific principles underlying precision nutrition and a framework for scientific evaluation of nutrition-based research that underpin evidence-based guidelines.
Who Should Attend
The following topics, in the context of nutrition and metabolism, will be covered during the course:
- Circadian rhythm, gut microbiome, cellular signalling and genotype.
- Application of metabolomics and precision nutrition in health advancement.
At the end of the course, learners can look forward to the following learning outcomes:
- Understand how circadian rhythm, gut microbiome, cellular signalling and genenotype regulate nutrient metabolism.
- Understand the application of metabolomics and precision nutrition in nutritional research and health advancement.
- Able to evaluate scientific reports on nutritional research.P40
