Nutrition, Metabolism and Genomics
The mission of the Nutrition, Metabolism and Genomics Group is to contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of action of dietary nutrients and their impact on human health and metabolism. Particular attention is given to the role of dietary lipids and fiber.
