Precision nutrition

We define dietary strategies to address people’s metabolic imbalances in order to improve their quality of life.

The new knowledge generated about the microbiome, the functioning of the microbiota and the intestine, and each person’s genetic information, makes it easier to understand how diet influences the body and, as a result, to design personalised diets.

We provide our knowledge in nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics to study the interaction of diet with gene expression and with the development of certain pathologies. We rely on genomic Big Data and Artificial Intelligence to efficiently manage the huge volume of genomic data and thus decipher the information contained in genes. Proper interpretation provides us with a robust source of biological information of great interest for areas such as health, metabolism and nutrition.

We have laboratories and experience in the use of cellular models, a diagnostic tool that allows us to experimentally evaluate different physiological processes in different scenarios in order to verify the beneficial effect of compounds and products and design strategies and products to promote health.

Furthermore, our experience in studies of gut microbiota behaviour enables us to develop new products that improve its function of protecting the body against pathogens.

The use of molecular tools can be useful for characterising the different metabolic profiles of obesity in order to provide more precise nutritional recommendations.
