Introduction
Foodomics, an emerging interdisciplinary field, combines various omics technologies to study the complex interactions between food components and their effects on human health. By integrating genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics approaches, foodomics aims to provide insights into personalized nutrition, food safety, and the molecular basis of dietary health effects.
History
The history of foodomics is relatively recent, driven by advancements in omics technologies and the recognition of the importance of diet in health. The advent of high-throughput techniques and bioinformatics paved the way for the integration of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in the study of food.
Noteworthy Personnel
Several influential individuals have significantly contributed to the field of foodomics. Dr. Sunghwan Kim s research on integrating omics technologies for food analysis has advanced the field s methodology. Dr. Jim Kaput s work on nutrigenomics and personalized nutrition has highlighted the potential of foodomics for individual health optimization.
Evolution till Date
Foodomics has evolved from the integration of individual omics approaches to a comprehensive framework for understanding the molecular basis of food effects on health. Advances in analytical techniques, data integration, and bioinformatics have expanded the scope and impact of foodomics research.

I have completed my 6 month dissertation in NTHRYS biotech labs. The lab is adequately equipped with wonderful, attentive and receptive staff. It is a boon to the students venturing into research as well as to students who would like to garner lab exposure. I had a pleasant experience at NTHRYS thanks to Balaji S. Rao Sir for his constant support, mettle and knowledge. I would also like to give special regards to Zarin Mam for teaching me the concepts of bioinformatics with great ease and for helping me in every step of the way. I extend my gratitude to Vijaya Mam, and Sindhu Mam for helping me carry out the project smoothly.

I’m a biotechnology student from Dy patil University mumbai and I recently completed my 6 months dissertation project at Nthrys Biotech Labs in Hyderabad. I had a great experience and I would highly recommend this lab to other students as well .
The first thing that I appreciated about Nthrys Biotech Labs was the friendly and supportive environment. Balaji sir and the staff Ragini and Sandhya ma’am were always willing to help me and they were always patient with my questions.
I also felt like I was part of a team and that I was making a real contribution to the companys research.
I learned a lot during my dissertation at Nthrys Biotech Labs not only academically but also personally . I had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, which gave me a broad exposure to the field of biotechnology. I also learned a lot about the research process and how to conduct experiments.
In addition to the technical skills that I learned, I also developed my soft skills during my internship. I learned how to communicate effectively, how to work independently, and how to work as part of a team.
Overall, I had a great experience at Nthrys Biotech Labs and I would highly recommend this company to other students.
Once again I would like to render a big thank you to Balaji Sir and Vijayalakshmi ma’am for imbibing with all the knowledge along with helping me publish my research paper as well and its all because of them I scored unbelievably well in my final semester.
