Precision nutrition: using novel study design (n-of-1 clinical trial) or wearable device (such as continuous glucose monitoring) to explore personalized response to diet and nutrition in the Chinese populations. Using multi-omics technologies to unveil the mechanism behind the link between nutrition and chronic diseases with large-scale human cohort data.
Computational Medicine: Use computational methods and multi-omics datasets (including nutrition biomarkers, genomics, metabolomics, microbiome and proteomics) within human cohorts to investigate the etiology of aging-related diseases or pregnancy-related outcomes, and to identify novel disease biomarkers and prioritize potential drug targets.
Gut microbiome epidemiology: Explore novel gut microbiome biomarkers for complex human diseases with multiple Chinese prospective cohort studies, and investigate the role of nutrition and host genetics in shaping the gut microbiome, and how nutrition, genetics, and gut microbiome interact with each other to affect the host health.
