人类营养，食品和运动理学硕士-临床生理学和代谢

计划目标：培养能够识别，理解和应用科学方法的基本概念（观察，预测，实验和干预）的研究生，因为该方法与人类营养，食品和运动科学的临床和实验研究有关。CPM的研究人员研究各种饮食，运动和药理学干预对生理和代谢功能的作用。他们通过与其他研究生院系以及整个大学的合作，为部门的翻译任务做出了积极的贡献。研究项目包括：耗水量增加：长期维持体重的自我调节策略，d13C添加了糖摄入生物标志物：确定儿童的有效性，糖尿病前期成年人抵抗训练的影响，技术增强的范围和有效性糖尿病预防计划，营养评估方法，益生元，肠道菌群和心脏代谢健
The department offers a Master of Science in HNFE degree in Behavioral and Community Science, Clinical Physiology and Metabolism, and Molecular and Cellular Science. <br>Our mission is to discover, translate, and disseminate health-related advances in the nutrition, food, and exercise sciences. The work of the faculty and graduate students in the Department of Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise (HNFE) contributes significantly to scientific progress through molecular and clinical advances leading to prevention and improved treatment of obesity and chronic diseases, behavioral discoveries that lead to effective intervention programs for youth and adults, and interdisciplinary research teams who speed the translation of scientific discoveries to effective therapeutic and public health interventions that will benefit Virginians and the nation. We provide exceptional training for our students focusing on the preparation of future professionals who are knowledgeable, committed to life-long learning, ethical, culturally sensitive, and able to work collaboratively as well as independently. Training in the use of rigorous scientific inquiry is the cornerstone of the HNFE graduate program. We foster innovation across all three Virginia Tech missions areas - teaching, research, and outreach - by (1) supporting programs that promote sustainability and community viability and encouraging student participation in research and extension, (2) designing, developing, and implementing programs and policies through a participatory and shared effort between the HNFE research and teaching community, and (3) utilizing our teaching and research expertise to improve the health across diverse populations. Finally, the department's main focus is on addressing one of the most critical public health challenges of today - chronic disease.
