Overview
This research base program focuses on various aspects of food science as related to human nutrition. This program aims at integrating knowledge from the natural, social and behavioral sciences as it applies to food and nutrition. This platform is an opportunity for individuals already working in various food and nutrition fields to enhance their nutritional knowledge and practically apply it to their field of specialization.
This dynamic program helps students apply their knowledge of Food Science in the development of innovative food products and also emphasizes on the application of food and diet in prevention and treatment of disease both at an individual and community level. Thus the unique combination of Medical Nutrition Therapy and innovative functional and health foods enables the students to work in various fields ranging from research in the food science laboratory to performing their duties in the medical and ICU wards of the hospitals or working as a nutritionist in the community for improving the health of the most vulnerable sector of the population.
