Prof. Dr. Ting Zhang is a researcher in nutrition, metabolic diseases, and the gut–brain axis, focusing on how diet, bioactive compounds, and microbiota interactions influence health. Her studies integrate network pharmacology, animal models, and clinical data to investigate obesity, diabetes, neurodegeneration, and inflammation. She has examined fermented foods, plant extracts, and genetic factors affecting metabolic risk and cognitive function. Her work highlights microbiome-mediated mechanisms linking nutrition to chronic disease prevention and therapeutic development, contributing to precision nutrition and functional food research.
