Yonsei University, Korea and UC Davis, California, USA,
Centers of Excellence in Nutritional Genomics
Present:
Technical Workshop: Nutraceutical and Nutritional Genomics: The Path to
Personalized Nutrition
A technical workshop entitled, Nutraceutical and Nutritional Genomics: The Path
to Personalized Nutrition will be offered on February 1, 2005 from 10:00 a.m. –
6:00 p.m. at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea. The workshop will cover the
concepts, technologies and methodologies of nutraceutical and nutritional genomics.
The workshop is targeted to graduate students, postdoctorates, faculties and health
care professionals with a background in the life sciences (e.g. nutrition, genetics,
molecular biology, biochemistry, epidemiology, medicine), and those interested in
the interface between nutrition and genomics. The workshop is limited to 100
participants
