Integrating population breadth with molecular depth to transform health insights.

Welcome to the Ma Lab!

Our lab investigates age-related chronic diseases, with a focus on cancer and neurodegeneration. We study how modifiable factors, such as diet and behavior, influence disease risk, progression, and survival. Using nutritional and molecular epidemiologic approaches, we integrate multi-omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) with artificial intelligence to uncover mechanisms and identify biomarkers. We also explore the gut microbiome and its interaction with diet to understand individual variability in responses.

Our ultimate goal is to advance precision health through early risk identification and targeted prevention strategies.
