Background 

One of the great challenges in genetics and nutrition is to understand how each individual interacts with, and responds to their environment. Diet is the most important environmental factor influencing expression of genetic information because of the constant exposure to nutrients in foods. The emerging discipline of nutritional genomics or nutrigenomics is the study of the effects of diet on the activity of an individual’s genes and health and the study of how different genetic makeup metabolizes nutrients.

Nutrigenomics will play significant role in one effort to improve human health and fitness through proper food intake. However, few if any have been trained in the many disciplines used in this research and its potential applications. For this reason, we in collaboration with The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI Southeast Asia Region) initiated to conduct an international conference in nutrigenomics. This conference will provide multiple opportunities for experts and participants to share perspectives, address challenges, discuss strategies and develop collaborative programs to deliver nutritious food to target various groups of human population.

 

Conference Topics :

  • Nutrient Gene Interactions
  • Diet and Epigenetics
  • Gut Microbiota and Human Health
  • Genetics, Epigenetics, and Environmental Interactions
  •  Functional Food and Specialty Diet
  • Sports Nutrition 

 

Participants

The conference and field trip participants are university students and lecturers; nutritionist; professionals from government research institutions, private sectors and non government organization. Policy- or decision makers in food science-based sectors will also benefit from attending this conference.

 

Venue

IINC 2010 will be held in Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia which is located in the heart of Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. As the economic and political capital, Jakarta is home of many national finest research institutions, educational facilities, historical places, and cultural heritage; and a gateway to the other tourism destinations in Indonesia. The famous and interesting heritage site in Jakarta is Indonesia Miniature Park (TMII), which is located at east site of Jakarta. TMII represents culture heritage of 30 provinces in Indonesia through finest exhibition of ethnic and traditional architecture, handicraft museum, and famous snail-shaped IMAX Theater (Keong Mas). Besides heritage site in East Jakarta, there is also Monumen Nasional (Monas) in the center of Jakarta. It is a 137 meters tall obelisk with 35 kg gold on its top as representative of people’s determination to achieve freedom. Nearby Monas, you could also visit National Museum of Indonesia where collections of famous heritage statues are located. Other interesting place you can visit are Sunda Kelapa, Jakarta Old Town, and Historical World Botanical Garden in Bogor. This lush tropical garden is home of exotic and rare botanical collections that can be reached less than one hour drive from Jakarta.
