Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics in Functional Foods and Personalized Nutrition (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Ferguson, Lynnette R.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores what is needed to bring nutrigenomics, nutrigenetics, and their associated technologies to market in a truly impactful way. Exploring nutrigenomic (effects of diet on gene expression) and nutrigenetic (matching diet to genotype) approaches, it covers a wide range of issues, from scientific to ethical, consumer-driven, and public health aspects. Topics include food-gene interactions, the modulation of disease risk, regulatory challenges, genetic testing for consumers, data mining, and the role of science and health professionals in the commercialization of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics.

Autorenporträt

Lynnette R. Ferguson, D.Phil., D.Sc., QSO, FNZIFST, works at the Auckland Cancer Society Research Centre, using mutagenicity testing as a predictor of carcinogenesis. In 2000, she also took on a 50 percent role as head of the Nutrition Department at the University of Auckland. Her research interests include the interplay between genes and diet in the development of chronic disease, with particular focus on inflammatory bowel disease, a cancer-prone condition, and also in prostate cancer. As program leader for the multidisciplinary-multiorganization Nutrigenomics New Zealand, she is working to bring nutrigenomics tools and potential to the New Zealand science scene. She is the author or coauthor of more than 300 peer-reviewed publications, including chapters in books and articles in international journals. She serves as one of the managing editors for Mutation Research: Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutation and is on the editorial boards of several other major journals.
