The modern society requires food not only as a source of nutrients and energy, but also as a key factor for increasing life- and health-span. Several years ago, the European Commission funded the research network of excellence NuGO devoted to Nutrigenomics, with UIB as one of the founder members; this prompted us to design a new, unique in the world, specialised postgraduate programme.

In the new millennium, we are starting to unravel the secrets of the human genome. We have different and multiple gene variants that make the biological response to diet and environment different from one individual to another (nutrigenetics) and new disciplines and techniques, such as epigenetics and the “omics” techniques (functional genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics) help us to understand the complex relationship between gene expression and nutrients and the individual responses to diet. An individual knowledge of the individual genetic response to the daily challenges we have to cope with can help us to protect our health from future metabolic diseases. Nutrigenomics is the modern molecular nutrition and opens de road to a Personalised Nutrition, designed for each individual person in accordance to their gene variants and how gene expression is regulated under different challenges.
