Can you tell us about your current research?
The aim of our research is to clarify how dietary factors (food environments) contribute to the prevention and alleviation of non-communicable diseases
What was your reaction when you learned you had won the award?
I received this news and then shared it with my co-authors. We are very happy and honored. This award from AOCS is the best way to spread our achievement in phospholipids as one of the bioactive lipids
How has AOCS helped develop your career?
AOCS is known as a high-end international scientific and technical organization and provides the opportunity to share our research, especially bioactive lipids, and to connect with many professionals. AOCS and this award help to develop our research career. We really appreciate your support.
