I am currently doing my PhD in the Food and Nutritional Metabolomics Group under supervision of Kati Hanhineva. My other supervisors are Jyrki Virtanen and Marjukka Kolehmainen. My PhD projects aim to understand how lifestyle factors, such as food, dietary pattern, and psychological well-being, would affect the risk of metabolic diseases. We chose to employ non-targeted metabolic profiling as our main approach, which allow us to screen thousands of small molecules in biological samples without any pre-defined hypotheses. I am also interested in investigating the metabolic markers of dietary responses, how some people reduce the risk of metabolic diseases by consuming high-quality diet and some do not, or how some people have lower risk to metabolic disease despite their unfavorable dietary habit. Additionally, I am involved in writing a review article within the Food and Biomarker Alliance (FoodBAll) consortium
