José Ordovas
Dr. Jose Ordovás is a Professor of Nutrition and Genetics at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy and Professor at the School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts University. He is also Senior Scientist and Leader of the Nutrition and Genomics Team at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging. His research concerns genetic factors that predispose individuals to heart disease and obesity through interaction with the environment and behavioral factors. In particular, Dr. Ordovás examines the impact of diet on genetic factors. He has published well over 850 scientific articles (H-index: 115) in peer-reviewed journals and has written numerous reviews and books on these topics. In this regard, Dr. Ordovás is considered one of the founders of nutrigenomics. Dr. Ordovás embraces new areas of nutrigenomics related to the regulation of gene expression by microRNAs and DNA methylation and the relation between genes, chronobiology and obesity.
