Dr. Hao Wu is a full professor at Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Heatlh, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, China. He is the P.I. of Spatial Nutrition Research Team at Shandong University. He acquired M.D. and Ph.D. at Jilin University, and received post-doctoral training at University of Louisville and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, USA.
He proposed a novel concept in nutrition research named “Spatial Nutrition” which aims to define the interaction between disordered spatial distribution of nutrients in the body and nutritional disease (especially diabetes and complications), and investigate the effect and mechanism of targeted delivery of nutrients and food bioactives towards specific organs/cells/organelles. Spatial nutrition may conquer the unsatisfactory absorption and utilization of nutrients under disease/non-disease conditions, and may yield better outcomes.
He has published 25 articles as the first or corresponding author in top journals such as Diabetologia, Free Radical Biology & Medicine, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry and Nutrients. He is an editorial board member of international journals such as Nutrients, Antioxidants and Frontiers in Endocrinology. He serves as a reviewer for Food & Function, Food and Chemical Toxicology, Journal of Functional Foods, Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, etc.
He is a standing committee member in Basic Nutrition Branch, Chinese Nutrition Society. His research is funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China, Shandong University, Jilin University and Jinan Central Hospital.
