Benigna V. Roxas

Details

Dr. Benigna Roxas is recognized for important to acquire detailed knowledge regarding the biological basis of nutrition and the mechanisms by which diet can influence health. This includes a basic understanding of metabolism, physiology, molecular genetics, epidemiology and biostatistics. To develop laboratory skills required for modern biochemical and molecular studies of nutrition and its role in health and disease. This includes the quantitative analysis and interpretation of results. To attain skills in developing research proposals for the study of human nutrition. This requires the integration of knowledge about cellular and molecular biology, modern molecular genetics, and human physiology with concepts in nutritional sciences related to diet and disease. To develop skills in the oral and written communication of scientific information.
