CND 412 Nutritional Biochemistry (2018)

This module aims to develop the students understanding of the vital roles of macro, micro, phytonutrients and water in normal biochemical processes, alongside establishing a framework for reviewing how imbalanced nutritional intake and xenobiotics can lead to disordered biochemistry and pathology, using ‘obesity’ and principles of gene expression as examples. This module aims to enable the student to develop basic skills of collecting, recording, analysing, interpreting and disseminating basic laboratory and diet data and apply basic equations to a range of nutritional situations, as well as providing the fundamental underpinning of biochemistry necessary for a range of work environments.
