Description:

Today's generations are very skilled in the digital environment, and through a subject that uses computers to monitor the metabolism of a healthy and/or sick person, they could connect previously acquired knowledge and skills in biology, biochemistry, human physiology, etc. in an acceptable way. computer and basic knowledge in the field of biology and biochemistry. The subject will provide an overview of the basics from the application of modeling metabolic processes at the level of the human cell, which are important for planning and optimizing nutrition. The use of computational biology tools provides a quick and simple insight into the effect of nutrition on metabolic processes and cell homeostasis, and describes how the regulation of these processes is impaired by nutrition-related diseases.
