OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to increase knowledge and skills on gene-nutrient relationship, gene-nutrition-disease relationship and genetic nutrition, and to follow the latest scientific developments and to associate biology, molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics with nutrition science, as well as to reach a conclusion by using the acquired knowledge and skills. problem solving, showing examples and gaining skills on examination.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Recent innovations in nutritional and cancer-diet relationships and complex diseases, individual genetic differences and dietary responses, metabolic syndromes, functional foods and nutraceuticals, functional nutrigenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic, nutrigenomic technology and the effects of nutrition on molecular physiology applications.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Learns the relationship between basic genetics, genomics and gene regulation with nutrition.
Identify the location of molecular nutrients in nutrition research (signals and signal pathways, diet sensors (nuclear receptors, animal models).
Understanding the nutrigenetic concept (complex diseases, person-specific nutrition) learns.
Gain access to molecular nutrition studies from the right sources.
