  • The only book that addresses molecular nutrition in such an up-to-date and inclusive fashion.
  • Blends coverage of the molecular mechanisms that underpin nutrient-gene interactions with evolutionary theory, appealing to a wide range of disciplines from molecular nutrition, nutritional sciences, and nutrition dietetics through to genetics, genomics, and anthropology.
  • Takes a molecular biological approach to problem solving, and moves nutrition away from its dietetic and anthropological origins to the front lines of genomic research.
  • Covers key concepts in molecular biology; the –omics revolution and bioinformatics; recent human evolution; molecular mechanisms of gene-nutrient interactions; the importance of nutrients and genomics in disease; the evolution of micronutrient metabolism, protein structure, and human disease; nutrients and the human lifecycle; contemporary dietary patterns; leading-edge laboratory tools in nutrigenomics and human evolutionary studies.
  • Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as career research scientists.
  • Single-author book written by an internationally recognized expert in the field.
