Nutrigenomics Graduate Certificate

Nutrigenomics Graduate Certificate Image

The Nutrigenomics Graduate Certificate within the School of Integrative and Functional Medicine is a distance education program that focuses on the scientific study of whole-genome sequences and patterns of gene expression.

Genes are critical for determining function, and nutrition modifies the extent to which different genes are expressed. Thereby, modulating whether individuals attain the potential established by their genetic background.

Nutrigenomics refers to the study of the effects of nutrients on the expression of an individual’s genetic makeup. Recently, this definition was expanded to include nutritional factors that defend the genome against damage.

The Nutrigenomics Graduate Certificate includes instruction in molecular and cellular biology, genetics, protein technologies, genomic sciences and techniques, bioinformatics, and scientific and research ethics.
