Adjunct Research Fellow

Specialty:
  • Cardiovascular and nutritional epidemiology
  • Omics and disease risk
  • Nutrition survey and intervention
  • Precision preventive medicine

Education and Positions:
  • Ph.D. Cornell University


I have presided since 1992 the Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan which documents the key and unique health and nutrition problems of the country. My research team emphasizes using prospective study design and omics tools (genomics and metabolomics) to dissect genetic, diet and lifestyle related-etiology of cardiometabolic diseases such as hypertension, obesity, and aging-related diseases. Our discoveries can be used to appraise chronic disease risk and apply precision preventive medicine. Personalized lifestyle prescription may be provided to individuals with elevated disease risk. We have deployed dimension reduction technique to find influential dietary patterns which is then associated with disease and subclinical disorders. In order to contribute to disease prevention, we have been designing and evaluating efficacy of therapeutic diets or supplements with multiple beneficial components to lower risk of diseases, e.g., asthma, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hyperuricemia, and breast cancer.
