Nutritional Epigenetics and Gene Expression in Adulthood Course for Dietitians is organized by ContinuingEducation.com - OnCourse Learning Corporation.

Release Date: Mar 25, 2014
Expiration Date: Apr 17, 2020

The target audience for this medical event is intended for nutrition professionals. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.00 CPEU.

Conference Description :
“You are what you eat” is taking on new meaning as we gain an understanding of epigenetics and nutrigenomics. Nutrients can alter gene expression in ways that have a significant impact on the development of chronic disease. Given the influence nutrients have on gene expression and disease risk, nutrigenomics is an exciting area of study with the potential to change the devastating effects of chronic disease. Because of an increased awareness of nutrigenomics, a number of commercial products and services are now available to consumers. Considerable efforts are underway on a national level to generate the tools necessary for developing personalized medical interventions, instead of the population-based interventions that are used today.

Conference Objectives are :
• Define nutrigenomics and identify nutrients involved in regulating gene expression in adulthood.
• Explain the correlation between gene-nutrient interactions and susceptibility to disease.
• Identify the different types of nutrigenomic products and services available to consumers.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
