Biography

Chungho Lau is a postdoctoral researcher at Imperial College London's School of Public Health within the Faculty of Medicine. His primary research interests include ageing, molecular epidemiology, and various metabolomics techniques such as NMR and LC-MS. He is currently leading a project focused on metabolomic assessments of biological ageing, leveraging omics platforms to investigate the determinants of accelerated ageing. His work includes significant epidemiological studies such as INTERMAP, which examines the relationship between dietary intakes and metabolic phenotypes, and MOMFIT, a clinical trial aimed at preventing excessive weight gain in pregnant women. Lau is also involved in various projects such as the EU FP7 HELIX study investigating environmental exposures on childhood development, and the HeCaTos EU-funded project focusing on molecular endpoints in toxicity assessments. A BBSRC funded PhD project led by Lau explores the PI3Kinase signaling pathway in cancer metabolism.
