Nutrition Biochemistry
It covers basic-experimental research and presents an interface with clinical nutrition, food science and epidemiology, developing studies that allow a better understanding of the biomolecular mechanisms involved in the etiology of chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCD).

Food Science and Technology
It presents the focus on nutrients and non-nutrients present in foods and products and their associations with the reduction of the risk of developing CNCD, and develops specific formulations and products for different individuals, whether healthy, sick or athletes.

Nutritional Epidemiology
It is dedicated to investigate the health and nutritional problems that have been recognized as main causes of death in the population and that have diet and nutritional status among its etiological factors, in cross-sectional, longitudinal and intervention studies, with regional and national coverage in children, adolescents, adults and pregnant women.
