Big Data, Technology, and Personalized Nutrition | Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy

The effects of dietary intake and nutritional status on health are complex. Understanding specific effects requires an understanding of the complex interactions among exposures and the technical skills for clarifying them in population-based data. At the Friedman School, one of our key priorities is to translate the intricacies of population-based nutritional data on a global scale.
