Unveiling Nutri-Genomics
Professor Giovanni ScapagninI MD PhD

 Nutrigenomics : An emerging scientific discipline

The identification and understanding of individual and population differences and similarities  in gene expression in response to diet can lead to food products customised for an individual’s nutritional needs.

The science of nutrigenonics is the study of how naturally occurring chemicals in foods alter molecular expression of genetic information in each individual.

The key element that distinguishes nutrigenomics from nutrition research is that the observable response to diet, or phenotype ,is analysed or compared in different individuals(or genotypes).Classical nutrition research essentially treats everyone generally as genetically identical even while realising that some individuals require more or less of specific nutrients.
