Dr. Dayeon Shin earned her M.S. and Ph.D. in Human Nutrition from Michigan State University and holds the Registered Dietitian (R.D.) credential in the United States. Following her doctoral training, she served as an Assistant Professor at the University of North Dakota and Syracuse University, before joining Inha University as an Assistant Professor and subsequently Associate Professor. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Nutritional Science and Food Management at Ewha Womans University.
Dr. Shin's research focuses on uncovering how dietary patterns and nutritional status interact with genetic predispositions and metabolic phenotypes to drive the risk and progression of chronic diseases, including metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia. Drawing on a multi-omics framework that integrates genomics, metabolomics, and nutritional epidemiology, she examines the interplay between diet and biology at a systems level. Through polygenic risk score analyses and gene-nutrient interaction studies, she investigates how individual genetic backgrounds shape dietary responses. She further applies Mendelian randomization to establish causal relationships between nutrient and food intake and chronic disease outcomes. Her work also encompasses the development of machine learning-based disease onset prediction models using large-scale national and international cohort data, with the goal of identifying early biomarkers for metabolic diseases. Bridging basic science and clinical nutrition, she is dedicated to building an evidence-based framework for precision nutrition interventions tailored to individual genetic and metabolic profiles.
