Clara Cho is a CIHR Tier II Canada Research Chair in Precision Nutrition and Assistant Professor in the College of Health and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Guelph. Her research program focuses on the role of methyl nutrients in the risk of chronic diseases, utilizing precision nutrition approaches. The laboratory employs both animal models and human studies to investigate the mechanistic insights underlying metabolic disease risks from genetic, epigenetic, physiological, and metabolic microbiome perspectives. Key research areas include the implications of inadequate and excessive gestational consumption of methyl nutrients on offspring's metabolic disease risks, dietary impacts on trimethylamine-N-oxide metabolism, and the interactions between nutrients and gut microbiome. Clara’s work is supported by numerous grants, including from CIHR and NIH, emphasizing the importance of individual variations in metabolism and dietary responses. She is passionate about expanding her scientific pursuits and fostering leadership in precision nutrition.
