Principal Investigator, Precision Nutrition and Computational Medicine, Westlake University

Ju-Sheng got PhD degree in Nutrition at Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China) in 2014. Between 2015 and 2018, he worked as a postdoctoral researchers at Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK). Since Sept 2018, he has become a Principal Investigator and group leader at Westlake University (Hangzhou, China).

The major interest of Ju-Sheng’ current research is:

Precision nutrition: using novel study design (n-of-1 clinical trial) or wearable device (such as continuous glucose monitoring) to explore individual’ 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.
