I am a research senior associate at Department of Human Science at the Ohio State University. My research is dedicated to understanding the intricate interactions between environmental factors, gut microbiota, and their collective impact on human health. Over the years, my work has evolved to focus on two major areas: the ecotoxicological effects of pesticides and other environmental contaminants on microbial and human health, and the role of omics in elucidating these interactions. During my PhD study at China Agriculture University, I developed innovative approaches to assess the impact of toxicants on ecological and human health. In 2017, to enhance my understanding of cutting-edge technology, I studied the gut bacteria metabolomics profile in epilepsy patients after a ketogenic diet at Regensburg University in Germany. In my postdoctoral research at Ohio State University, I expanded this focus to explore how dietary components and environmental factors shape microbial metabolism and influence host health using advanced mass spectrometry techniques. My collaborative efforts with fellow researchers have resulted in the publication of 50 papers. I aim to leverage my expertise in environmental health, microbiology, and systems biology to address pressing global health challenges. My vision is to bridge fundamental science with applied research, advancing public health through innovative approaches.
