Zhuqing Xie obtained a Bachelor's degree in Food Science Technology in June 2017 from Huazhong Agricultural University, China, and completed a Master's degree in Carbohydrate Nutrition at South China University of Technology from September 2017 to July 2020. Zhuqing has been a PhD student in Food Microbiology at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, since November 2020, with a focus on human gut microbiome/metabolism and nutritional immunology. Zhuqing's research mainly investigates the complex interactions within the microbial community, particularly how colonic pH variation and microbial metabolites from dietary compounds affect the immune system. This includes in vitro techniques such as simulated colonic fermentation and dietary intervention studies involving athletes in Denmark. With a cross-disciplinary background encompassing food science, nutrition, microbiology, and immunology, Zhuqing aims to advance knowledge about the interactions among diet, microorganisms, and immune cells. Eager to face new challenges and gain inspiration, Zhuqing is committed to improving the nutritional value of food ingredients through meticulous research and data analysis in food nutrition and technology, microbiology, and immunology, enhanced by bioinformatics skills.
Focuses on clinical, social, and cognitive psychology.
