Why an MSc in Personalised Nutrition?
Personalised healthcare is at the heart of functional medicine and is an emerging mainstream paradigm with particular relevance to pharmacogenomics. Nutrigenomics is central to functional medicine. This MSc brings together parallel insights from systems biology, complexity science and relevantly applied computational techniques to justify, in an evidence-based manner, a person centred approach for the design, implementation and justification of personalised nutrition plans for the prevention and management of chronic illness, healthy aging, longevity and competitive sport.
