Research Program. Precision Nutrition and Obesity
Nutritional Genomics and Epigenomics Group
Group leader: Prof. José María Ordovás Muñoz
Objectives: our group aims to provide genomic tools and knowledge to manage obesity and
related co-morbidites at the individual level through:
- The identification of genetic variants predisposing to obesity.
- The definition of how these variants interact with the diet to modulate such predisposition.
- The understanding of the dietary modulation of the how diet is able to modulate the obesogenic epigenome.
