Lars-Oliver Klotz, Professor of Nutrigenomics at the Institute of Nutritional Sciences at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany, gave a guest lecture on ‘Selenium-binding proteins: from SNP to function’, with which he inaugurated an open international seminar series as part of the Welcoming ERA Chair to Centre of Excellence in Nutrigenomics to optimise health and well-being project.

In the latest research of Prof. Carsten Carlberg and his Nutrigenomics Team we learn about potential molecular mechanisms linking vitamin D levels to the expression of genes involved in aging processes. A special attention was given to individual genetic variations affecting vitamin D metabolism and the potential for personalized supplementation based on genetic profiles.
