Our Research
Advancing Knowledge in Nutrition Genomics
NUGENOB conducts cutting-edge research at the intersection of nutrition, genetics, and obesity. Our multidisciplinary team works to uncover the complex relationships between genetic factors and dietary patterns that influence metabolic health and obesity risk.
By understanding these interactions, we aim to develop more effective, personalized approaches to prevent and treat obesity and related conditions.
Research Areas
Nutrigenomics and Personalized Nutrition
Our research investigates how individual genetic variations influence responses to diet and nutrients, with the goal of developing personalized dietary recommendations based on genetic profiles.
Gene-Environment Interactions in Obesity
We study how environmental factors, particularly diet and physical activity, interact with genetic predispositions to influence obesity risk and treatment outcomes.
Gut Microbiome and Genomics
Our team explores the intricate relationships between gut microbiota composition, host genetics, and nutritional patterns in obesity development and management.
Epigenetic Modifications in Response to Diet
We investigate how dietary factors can influence gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms, and how these changes might contribute to obesity and related metabolic disorders.
Our Research Methods
We employ a diverse set of cutting-edge methodologies to advance our understanding of nutrition genomics:
- Genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
- Nutrigenetic intervention trials
- Metabolomic profiling
- Bioinformatic analysis
- Transcriptomic studies
- Microbiome sequencing and analysis
Research Collaboration
We actively seek partnerships with academic institutions, healthcare organizations, and industry partners to expand the scope and impact of our research.
