The Program

The Graduate Program in Nutrition (PPGN-UFRJ) was created through an agreement between the Institute of Nutrition of UFRJ and the German agency GTZ in 1985, with the implementation of the Master’s Degree in Human Nutrition. In 2006, a PhD course in Nutritional Sciences was created. Currently, PPGN has concept 6 in CAPES.
The PPGN presents four lines of research focused on the current challenges of knowledge production in the areas of Nutrition Biochemistry, Food Science and Technology, Nutritional Epidemiology and Micronutrients. The faculty of PPGN works in collaborative studies with national and international institutions in multidisciplinary projects. The selection of candidates for master’s and doctoral courses is done by means of an annual public notice.
The PPGN has presented a significant growth in its laboratories in recent years, allowing the realization of innovative and integrated research. All the laboratories are multiuser in nature and aim at inter and intrainstitutional collaborative studies. In general, the laboratories of the INJC are well equipped and satisfactorily attend the teaching, research and extension activities conducted by faculty, technicians and students.
