Hi, this is Yanqi Zhang, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Pharmacology at Case Western Reserve University. My research focuses on the bioavailability and functions of vitamin A and lutein, two essential nutrients for the health of newborns and infants. I have developed an interdisciplinary research agenda between nutrition and food science, utilizing nano-encapsulation technique to enhance the bioavailability of these crucial nutrients and optimize their functions in neonates.
