He is also one of the cofounders of “MyNutriKidney App” - a personalized nutrition tool to empower dietary self-management for patients with chronic kidney disease. He is now conducting a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial to study the effects of rice substitution on cardio-metabolic markers among diabetes patients in comparison to healthy control. His current research interest is on gene-diet interactions for cardiovascular risk among diabetes patients. Besides, he also has a strong interest in the second generation of multivariate data analysis technique (i.e., PLS-SEM) and artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the cardiovascular risk among diabetes patients.
