Epub 2017 Nov 9.īobby Cheon is a principal investigator at SICS, as well as an assistant professor in the School of Social Sciences (Psychology) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Impact of dairy protein during limb immobilization and recovery on muscle size and protein synthesis a randomized controlled trial.Altered Dairy Protein Intake Does Not Alter Circulatory Branched Chain Amino Acids in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial.Intramuscular inflammatory and resolving lipid profile responses to an acute bout of resistance exercise in men.Following postdoctoral training at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, he returned to an academic appointment at the School of Health Sciences in Deakin University. He received his PhD in nutritional biochemistry from the Deakin University in Australia. This is a research strategy to extend Singapore’s capabilities in advanced biotech-based food manufacturing, with the aim of providing clinically validated food solutions that improve health in the face of challenges such as rising metabolic disease and an ageing population. He has led significant clinical trials that have shed light on the role of protein in the diet of the elderly, the differences in metabolic response to differing proteins, and the differences between intolerances to dairy, as compared to lactose intolerance.Īt SICS, Cameron-Smith’s research group is focused on building the scientific evidence for Future Foods, a part A*STAR funding and expansion of the Singapore Food Story. He earned his professorship at The University of Auckland where he was the Chair in Nutrition at the Liggins Institute.Īs the author of over 230 peer-reviewed publications in the areas of nutritional clinical interventions (with complementary analysis of health impacts in areas of obesity, diabetes and ageing, using advanced analytics including lipidomics, metabolomics and transcriptomics), his research work aims to decipher how nutrition regulates genes and the biochemical pathways that are essential for optimal human health. eCollection 2016.ĭavid Cameron-Smith is a senior principal investigator at SICS and he leads research on dietary protein and lipid metabolism at CNRC. The Influence of Gestational Diabetes on Neurodevelopment of Children in the First Two Years of Life: A Prospective Study.

Sleep Quality and Nocturnal Sleep Duration in Pregnancy and Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Maternal hyperglycemia in singleton pregnancies conceived by IVF may be modified by first-trimester BMI.She won SICS’ Emerging PI award in 2019, Best Poster award at the 8 th World Congress on Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) in 2013, and the Young Investigator Award (Clinical) at the University Obstetrics and Gynaecology Congress in 2012.Ĭai received her PhD from the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. Aside from infant sleep, she also has a keen interest in multidisciplinary research, linking psychology and neuroscience with metabolic conditions such as gestational diabetes.

Presented with the opportunities to access developmental cohorts strategically positions Cai to study infant sleep alongside subsequent developmental stage outcomes such as cognition, mood, behaviours, growth, adiposity and cardio-metabolic health.

A principal investigator at SICS, Cai Shirong’s main research interest is in infant sleep as a modifiable target for health interventions and the risk factors that shape infant sleep.
