The PhD programme in Nutrigenomics and Personalised Nutrition offers specialised training aimed at skilled professionals to undertake research into the most cutting-edge and innovative aspects in the field of molecular nutrition and health. This hugely important area of research aims to: identify the impact of diet on health, taking into account genotypes so as to be able to define optimal nutrition, and identify the early markers of diseases linked to diet so as to help prevent them appearing.

This type of professional is in ever more demand, not only in the research field at research centres but also at companies, thanks to the increasing interest within society in improving quality of life through proper and, where possible, personalised nutrition.

Jointly Supervised PhD (interuniversity)

The TNUT doctorate is an interuniversity doctoral programme between the UIB, the UPV/EHU and the URV, with the UIB acting as the coordinating institution. The three universities have wide experience in collaborating, including taking part in joint research projects and networks, as well as publishing collaborative research articles. Although the three universities centre their research in the field of Nutrigenomics and Molecular Nutrition, it is through their collaboration that they are able to jointly offer a range of specialisations and techniques enabling students to enjoy a much broader and comprehensive training programme; this covers core techniques in Molecular Nutrition, Physiology, omics techniques (including transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics), 'in silico' research, etc. One of the many appealing features of the PhD programme is the chance for students to move between the collaborating institutions, in the aim of learning useful experimental techniques and undertaking joint research work, with the possibility of joint supervision of PhD theses. All this enables greater learning and research excellence.
