In short
Nutrigenomics studies how nutrients and genes interact - how diet can influence gene activity and how genetic variation can influence response to nutrients. It is a growing research field for life-science and nutrition students. This is an education and research topic, not medical or diagnostic advice.
What nutrigenomics studies
Two directions: how nutrients affect gene expression, and how genetic differences affect how people respond to nutrients. Research combines molecular biology, genomics and bioinformatics.
