Nutrigenomics is the study of the response of humans to food and food components
using genomics, proteomics and metabolomics approaches.
The goal of nutrigenomics is to develop foods that can be matched to individual
human genotypes to benefit the health of those individuals and enhance normal physiological
processes.
Nutrigenomics will lead to the development of new foods for individualised health
and nutritional benefit.
4th Asia Pacific nutrigenomics conference: Genes, diet and gut health
Auckland , New Zealand 21-26 February, 2010
Tamaki Campus, The University of Auckland
The conference will address issues relevant to a wide range of interest groups,
including scientists, nutritionists, dieticians, gastroenterologists, nurses, food
scientists, members of the food industry from managers to technologists, food regulators.
It will particularly interest scientists performing basic research in nutrition,
genetics, genomics, epigenetics, epigenomics, bioinformatics, molecular biology,
transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, the microbiome, gut physiology and immunology.
Individuals interested in how they can influence their health through food will
also gain significant benefit by attending.
