Funded Activity Summary

Colorectal cancer represents a substantial burden to the health system. Primary prevention rather than treatment is more cost effective and can reduce morbidity and mortality. This study program will contribute to the emerging research area of nutrigenomics and nutritional epigenomics, by investigating the interaction between nutrition and gene expression. Such research can assist in establishing a diet which can best help to prevent colorectal cancer, at an individual or population level.
