Since joining Danone in 2013, I have been dedicated to food nutrition science research and product innovation, covering early life stages of infants and healthy aging. I lead a team that collaborates with nutrition experts, clinical specialists, and gut microbiome experts both domestically and internationally. Our work focuses on conducting nutritional health research for various populations and establishing scientific evidence for food ingredients. I have also participated in multiple national standards and have been involved in or led the development of health digital capabilities. My experience spans across interdisciplinary and cross-functional collaborations.
Aging and gut microbiota are closely linked in a complex, bidirectional relationship. Recent studies reveal that targeting and modulating “youthful” gut microbiota can help mitigate immune decline and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, offering a new scientific pathway for anti-aging interventions. As a key player in global health and nutrition, Danone continues to explore innovative approaches that combine science and nutrition. By focusing on the specific health needs of older adults, it has introduced targeted nutritional solutions aimed at revitalizing gut microbiota and supporting a youthful physiological state. In an era of accelerating population aging, leveraging science to address aging-related health challenges has become a shared global imperative.
