My research focuses on analyzing complex biological data such as genome, epigenome, transcriptome, metabolome, and proteome to explore how nutrition, and other behavioral factors, influence chronic diseases. I am particularly interested in cognitive development and decline, including Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD), as well as type 2 diabetes (T2D). My overarching aim is to advance Precision Medicine by improving disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
