Research Focus
Specializes in full-chain translational medicine, spanning from “population phenomenon discovery” to “biological mechanism research” and “clinical application.” Her work focuses on the environmental factors—such as air quality, diet, and lifestyle—associated with disease development, which are significantly influenced by economic and societal shifts. Emerging environmental factors like air pollution, unhealthy diets, poor sleep patterns, and reduced physical activity have become pressing health concerns in recent years.
