The Nutrition and Genomics Laboratory

"Nutrigenomics is the study of how dietary constituents interact with genes, and their products, to regulate biochemical pathways and thus, the balance between health and disease states. Genetic variation and numerous environmental factors modulate these interactions and their understanding constitutes the basis for the future development of more personalized and successful dietary recommendations to prevent disease and achieve healthier aging."

Here is a link if you would like to read more about the laboratory and nutrigenomics.
