Nutrigenomics Consortium:
dietary signals, sensors and
metabolic stress signatures

The Nutrigenomics Consortium (NGC) investigates how particular food components effect human physiology, using a radical new concept in nutritional research. Molecular nutrition is combined with state-of-the-art genomics research, with eventually examining the potentials of dietary interventions for the prevention of the metabolic syndrome and systemic insulin resistance.

NGC is one of the four innovative clusters of the Netherlands Genomics Initiative (NGI) whose goal is to make the Netherlands an international leader in genomics and to build a structure that links high scientific quality to economic and social returns.
