The Postgraduate diploma in Nutrigenomics, Metabolomics and Epigenetics will allow you to learn about the latest scientific evidence on the relationship between microbiota and the development of different cardiovascular diseases"

In recent years, the notorious relevance acquired by Genomic Nutrition has made it possible to find, through numerous investigations, the link between food intake and the body's response to it. Therefore, medical professionals have obtained the opportunity to determine which foods are the most appropriate and which are the most harmful for people suffering from different types of diseases, in order to adapt their diet to the nutritional needs that favor their well-being. Given the advantages offered by this discipline, physicians must have a high level of skill in this field in order to offer first class care to each of their patients.

That is why TECH has created this academic program, with the objective of providing this professional with the most advanced and updated knowledge in Nutrigenomics, Metabolomics and Epigenetics, which will place them at the forefront of a sector in constant growth. During 450 intensive teaching hours, they will determine which micronutrients and macronutrients have the greatest effect on gene expression or learn how to apply the main metabolomic profiles in the diagnosis of diseases, the role played by MicroRNAs in the development of pathologies, or how to handle their innovative detection and purification methods.

All of this, following a completely online methodology that will allow the student excellent learning without the need to make daily uncomfortable trips to educational centers. Likewise, they will have at their disposal didactic resources accessible in a wide range of textual and multimedia formats, which is why they will obtain a completely enjoyable teaching and adapted to their study preferences.
