The Center for Nutrigenomics is a post-graduate based Dutch center with the following mission:
The primary focus in the Centre for Human NutriGenomics is on biomolecular research for healthy and safe foods, with the following objectives:
- Study functionality and safety of food ingredients relevant for human health
- Clarify molecular mechanisms underlying health effects of food
- Study the impact of genotype in the relation of nutrition and human health
- Develop and apply markers of exposure, bioavailability, function and risk
Further Objectives
- Tuning of initiatives and collaboration in the field of human nutrigenomics, i.e., training and research programmes from EU, NWO and other funding agencies.
- Establish optimal provision and use of human nutrigenomics infrastructure.
- Set up international alliances with expert groups on genomics, nutrition and human health.
- Keep up contacts with clinical and pharmaceutical initiatives on genomics.
