Abstract
The overall goal of the Metabolomics Discovery Theme is to utilize metabolomic technology and dietary interventions, in conjunction with other "omic" technologies, to help address the global challenge of chronic disease. Metabolomics increases understanding of the biochemical variability of individuals in response to foods and dietary interventions in order to improve health and wellness, prevent non-communicable diseases and provide a basis for developing scientifically sound dietary recommendations and public health messages.
Description
IMPACT. 1: Determine metabolic profiles of varieties of fruits and vegetables to design dietary interventions used to enhance the nutritional status and wellness of individuals. -- 2. Improve the metabolic profile of individuals by strategically developing personalized interventions to improve one's health and responses to therapeutic interventions. -- 3. Identify sensitive biomarkers for assessing nutritional status, and particularly in underserved populations and those most vulnerable to chronic diseases.
