01 / 專業背景

個人簡介

Louise W. Lu 博士是一位營養科學家,致力於預防紐西蘭快速增長的亞洲人群中的 2 型糖尿病。2016 年完成博士學位後,她加入了奧克蘭大學人類營養研究中心 Sally Poppitt 教授的團隊,參與紐西蘭商業、創新和就業部(MBIE)“高價值營養”(High Value Nutrition)國家科學挑戰專案 PANaMAH。2016 至 2023 年間,她參與了“TOFI”(Thin-Outside-Fat-Inside,外瘦內脂)表型的研究,探討進餐時長與延長空腹時間對血糖調節的影響;她還以具名研究者身份,聯合毛利產業領袖、梅西大學 FoodPilot 及奧塔哥大學 CEDOR,啟動了 Vision Mātauranga 專案“每天一根營養棒,預防糖尿病”(One Bar a Day for Diabetes Prevention)。

Louise 早期的研究主要涉及碳水化合物代謝、飽腹感、適口性及感官行為。她的博士研究結合體外澱粉消化實驗與人體試驗,探討稻米品種、加工方式及咀嚼過程如何影響餐後血糖和消費者接受度。相關工作發表了三篇同行評審論文,併為面向亞洲華人消費者的產品開發提供了依據。

自 2022 年 6 月以來,她的工作經歷包括奧克蘭大學名譽學術職務及 LOLU Health 科學負責人,帶領由營養師、營養治療師和護士組成的跨學科團隊開展營養保健品研發。她還主持以科學證據為基礎的 KInD™ 計劃 ,開展個性化飲食干預,併為獨立執業、醫療機構及功能性食品行業的整體營養教練提供認證培訓。
