Advanced Genomics in Nutrition- AdGen-Nutri^TM

Diet, genes and environment interact and affect health outcome. Most common diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease and some cancers are the result of diet intake in combination with genetic variations. By eating a certain diet, one can turn genes on or off. Studies have shown that by eating omega-3s diet –, specifically EPA and DHA, can alter gene expression to a more anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic status. Advanced Genomics is committed to disease prevention and total health by taking proactive approaches. The central focus of Advanced Genomics study is nutrigenomics (nutrition + genomics). This will bring new insights into human health and will have a significantly positive impact on our quality of life.

Research and Discovery:

Advanced Genomics and its partners are studying the interaction of nutrients with human DNA. Genetic code affects the need for certain nutrients. Developing personalized nutrition solutions according to individual DNA make up can help to maintain optimal health throughout your life. Advanced Genomics is doing cutting edge research by using technologies such as Microarrays, miRNAs, genotyping, SNPs, sequencing and Genome Wide Association studies to:

• Identify differential gene expression by phytonutrients
• Determine relationship between diet and epigenetic phenomena
• Develop probiotic and prebiotic approaches for the improvement of functional foods
• Determine molecular basis of biodiversity in seeds
• Identify tools for prognosis/diagnosis and QC of milk and dairy products
• Detecting animal health status, and breeding conditions

 Complete Solution:

• Determine individual genetic predisposition
• Identify genetic variations that influence health status
• Determine influence of certain diets  and high risk behavior (alcohol abuse, and tobacco smoking) on gene expression, transcription, protein expression and metabolism
• Modulate the expression of diseased genes by taking  diet rich in omega 3s, reserveratrol, vitamin B12, and vitamin C
• Identify genetic variations for  nutrition and diet susceptibility
• Create solutions for personalized nutrition to prevent diseases
