Nutritional Biochemistry with Community/Clinical Applications: Micronutrients (NUTB-0305)

Spring 2024 · NUTB 0305 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

Students will continue the exploration of the fundamental roles of nutrients in biological systems and the implications of micronutrient biological functions on food and nutrition policy. As with NUTB 205, emphasis will be on the function of nutrients as defined by their chemistry, interrelations among nutrient functions, mechanistic approaches in the analysis of nutrient-disease relationships, and recent advances in the basic sciences related to nutrition and nutrient function. This is the second of a two-course sequence (NUTB 205 and NUTB 305; these courses may be taken in either order). Prerequisites: general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physiology (mammalian biology), and nutrition.

Course codes: NUTB-0305, NUTB 0305, NUTB0305, NUTB-305, NUTB 305, NUTB305
