Tailoring New Zealand foods to match people's genes

Nutrigenomics is the study of the response of humans to food and food components using genomics, proteomics and metabolomics approaches.

The goal of nutrigenomics is to develop foods that can be matched to individual human genotypes to benefit the health of those individuals and enhance normal physiological processes.

Nutrigenomics will lead to the development of new foods for individualised health and nutritional benefit.
