Personalised nutrition approaches for the prevention of diet-related diseases: biomarkers, digital tools & omic sciences

Friday 29th April, 9:15 AM -14:15 PM CEST | ONLINE

The PREVENTOMICS project, coordinated by Eurecat, has organised its final conference “Personalised nutrition approaches for the prevention of diet-related diseases: biomarkers, digital tools & omic sciences”.

The project has led to personalised nutrition tools aiming at improving health and lifestyle in a sustainable manner. To prove the effectiveness of digital health tools and precision nutrition solutions, together with functional foods and behavioural change strategies, three interventional studies have been carried out in four different countries.

During the final conference, partners presented the outcomes of the research done for the identification, modelling and assessment of consumer, genetic and circulating biomarkers in personalised nutrition. On the other hand, we discussed on digital-based tools to empower precision nutrition and present the conclusions of the project’s precision nutrition studies, delivering individualized dietary treatment from multiple perspectives, including the benefits from the participants side, a cost-effectiveness analysis and the role of functional ingredients in tailor-made interventions.

Target audience

  • Undergraduate, graduate or PhD students willing to learn about personalised nutritional approaches and digital solutions.
  • Researchers in nutrition, omics sciences, precision nutrition from Universities and research centres.
  • Professionals from companies in the field of food, nutrition or ICT.
  • General public with interest in improving their health in a sustainable manner.
