Authors

Yuan-Xiang Pan Associate Professor, Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition (FSHN), a member of the Division of Nutritional Sciences (DNS) and Illinois Informatics Institute (I3), University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), USA. He graduated with a B.S. degree in cell biology from Lanzhou University and received both his M.S. and Ph.D. in Animal Nutrition from Virginia Tech where he studied protein metabolism. He completed his postdoctoral training in nutritional control of mammalian gene expression at the University of Florida, College of Medicine. Dr. Pan's research is to understand the adaptation of epigenetic modifications in mammalian gene regulation to the environment changes, with a focus on the impact of these adaptive processes in health and disease. Dr. Pan has over 65 peer-reviewed publications and receives grant support from the NIH, the United States Department of Agriculture, and industry. Shasha Zheng Associate Professor of Nutrition, Head of MS Program in Human Molecular and Medical Nutrition, College of Health Science, California Baptist University, Riverside, CA, USA. The recipient of various NIH grants, Dr. Zheng's current research projects include the discovery of the novel SUMOylation inhibitor as anti-influenza virus agent; the impact of Native American plants as therapeutic supplements on the prevention and treatment of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and chronic inflammatory diseases; immunological consequences of transcription factor interactions; and the effects of maternal supplements on fetal developmental programing and offspring health outcomes. She has published in such peer reviewed journals as the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, International Journal of Public Health Science, Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences, Journal of Immunology, Molecular and Cell Biology, and Epigenetics.
