Welcome
ChenLab, Precision Nutrition and Metabolism Innovation Team, Huazhong Agricultural University, was established in September 2016 by Zhen-Xia Chen, Professor at Huazhong Agricultural University.
Our research focus on:
Using the ‘Drosophila-vertebrate-human’ comparative genomics research strategy, through the integration and analysis of multi-omics data on animal and human nutritional health, we will assess the effects of ‘gene-sex-nutrition’ interactions on the body and their molecular mechanisms, with the aim of providing the nation with a personalised dietary and nutritional programme. The aim is to provide the nation with personalised dietary and nutritional programmes to treat the future.
The main research interests include:
Food nutritional health utility mining.
Animal phenomics technology development.
Functional and evolutionary studies of non-coding structural elements.
