Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	This course aims to teach the reciprocal interactions between individual?s genetic characteristics and the dietary components, also the possible effects of these interactions on human health using the nutritional genomics knowledge.
Course Content:	Basic concepts of genetics, nutritional genomics and related terms, the effect of diet on gene expression, gene-diet interactions on the prevention and/or the treatment of various diseases , nutritional genomics practice areas, the requirements and responsibilities of dietitians related to the subject.
