Learning Objectives
Themes
The course aims to provide basic scientific and application groundings in the biological and nutritional field, taking into account the requirements for access to the profession of biologist. In particular, the training course will examine the topics that will enable the nutritionist biologist to achieve the following objectives:
• gain adequate knowledge and understanding of the role of nutrition in human health;
• be able to make an adequate framing of the different contexts of dietary intervention, both in the healthy subject, in relation to the different stages of biological life, and in the subject with established pathological conditions;
• acquire appropriate knowledge in the field of functional foods and nutraceuticals, as well as supplements and trace elements.
The course is entirely taught in Italian. Some materials may be provided in English.
