Information – Clarifications:

The Human Nutrition Unit of the Department of Food Science and Nutrition of the University of the Aegean provides an opportunity for professionals and scientists working in the fields of public health, nutrition, and/or food technology to use the facilities of the infrastructure and the experience of its researchers, to design their own clinical study. In particular, the final participants will have the opportunity to use statistical programs, study protocols, immunological and biochemical analyzers and blood sampling areas to plan and prepare a nutritional intervention adapted to the needs of the research questions they want to investigate.
