Welcome!

The Precision Clinical Nutrition Research Laboratory at Ewha Womans University integrates cutting-edge multi-omics approaches — including genomics, metabolomics, and nutritional epidemiology — to unravel the molecular and behavioral underpinnings of chronic metabolic disease. Our mission is to advance precision nutrition: moving beyond population-level dietary guidelines toward individualized, biology-informed nutritional strategies for disease prevention and management. We investigate how dietary patterns, food behaviors, and nutritional status interact with genetic architecture and metabolic phenotypes to shape risk for metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, hypertension, and beyond. Central to our work is the integration of polygenic risk scores, gene–nutrient interaction analyses, and Mendelian randomization frameworks to establish causal nutritional inference at scale.

We are committed to translating genomic and nutritional science into clinically actionable precision interventions — bridging the bench, the population, and the plate.
