In the Penn State Center for Nutrigenomics, we are trying to advance nutritional sciences and education through the use of molecular and cellular biology approaches. Below are links to a workshop given by Dr. Jack Vanden Heuvel that outlines the approaches being utilized by the CEN.
Topic areas
-
Analysis of Gene Expression by real-time PCR
-
Transcription Factor Profiling
Also see Nuclear Receptors as Nutriable Targets -
Single nucleotide polymorphisms
- Comprehensive gene expression by microarray
How nuclear receptors may represent potential targets of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that can help explain their mechanism of action in preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD).
