Gengjie Jia Lab

We, through algorithm development for analyzing multi-dimensional big health data and nutrition/dietary data, aim to:


1.  discern subtypes of complex diseases (through system identification of comorbidity patterns and multi-omics data analysis), parse their underlying genetic bases, and design subtype-specific precision-nutrition interventions;

2. describe disease co-occurrence patterns, build risk prediction models, and search for the optimal combinations of diets and (or) drugs;

3. elucidate the tripartite relationship among human digestive systems, microbiota therein, and food nutrition.

    Associate Researcher at the Food Genomics Centre, AGIS.

    Bioinformatician (bacterial genome, metagenome, single-cell RNAseq, CNV, phenome, and metabolome)


    Research direction

    Based on multi-omics data, we apply bioinformatics technologies to discern biological mechanisms, and then design solutions for precision nutrition intervention

    •Construct subtypes of cardiometabolic diseases and digestive tract diseases to improve the resolution of disease stratification

    • Describe the characteristics of digestive tract diseases and cardiometabolic diseases, analyze their genetic, microbiome, and dietary risk factors, and explain the interaction between food nutrition, the human digestive system, and the microbial community

    • Human pathogen detection and in vitro diagnostic early screening
