Assistant Professor
University of Massachusetts Amherst
Amherst, Massachusetts, United States
Dr. Ma’s research focuses on understanding age-related chronic complex diseases, especially cancer and neurodegeneration, and how modifiable risk factors, including diet and behavioral factors, affect the disease processes. She uses nutritional and molecular epidemiological approaches integrating multiomics data and artificial intelligence technique. Recently, she expanded her focus to the gut microbiome and its interaction with diet on diseases. Her goals are both to understand how the complex interplay of genetic, metabolic, and the gut microbial factors affect the variability of individuals’ responses to dietary intakes, and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the roles of dietary and behavioral factors in etiology, progression, and survival of age-related chronic diseases.
