Biochemistry and Human Nutrition

This course, organized in the two modules "Nutrition and Human Nutrition" and "Biochemistry", will familiarize the student with the fundamental principles of biochemistry and human nutrition, including key concepts of nutritional requirements, macro-and micro-nutrient functions.

At the completion of this program the student will be able to understand the biochemical nature of foods and the associated molecular and metabolic mechanisms, and utilize knowledge from foundational sciences as a basis for understanding the role of food and nutrients in health and disease.
