Hello, I’m Claudia!

I do research in nutrigenetics, with genome-based nutrition studies aimed at developing tailored strategies, considering the genetic background, diet, and culture of populations, for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. In this line, I also became interested in the study of genetic adaptations to ancestral environmental and/or cultural settings of human population groups, which in view of recent global changes might influence the susceptibility or resistance of modern populations to current health challenges.
