Advances in Dietary Lipids and Human Health

Dr Li is the chief professor of nutrition in the Institute of Nutrition & Health, Qingdao University, professor emeritus of nutrition in the Department of Food Science & Nutrition at Zhejiang University, China, and adjunct professor in the Department of Nutrition & Dietetics at Monash University, Australia. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine (Lanzhou University, China), and MSc (University of Tasmania, Hobart) in Natural Products and PhD in Nutrition (RMIT University, Melbourne) in Australia. He was also a research fellow at Deakin University, and a senior research fellow at RMIT University. Dr Li has more than 390 peer reviewed scientific publications, 16 books or book chapters and 25 inventive patents. Dr Li has integrated research themes on lipids in some four areas: Dietary lipids intake and non-communicable diseases; Nutrigenetics/nutrigenomics of lipids; Metabolism of lipids and fatty acids; Bioactivity and safety evaluation of novel lipids and fatty acids.
