Research summary
AI-generated

Yujin Lee's research focuses on nutrition and cardiometabolic health, particularly how diet and gut bacteria-produced substances (such as trimethylamine N-oxide, or TMAO) relate to risks of heart disease, kidney disease, and other chronic conditions. Much of this work uses large community-based cohort studies to examine dietary patterns—like plant-based diets and almond consumption—and their links to health outcomes, inflammation, and the gut microbiome. Some publications also touch on nutrition policy, dietary survey trends, and cost-effectiveness modeling of diet-related interventions.
