Personal profile

From 1990 to 2000, Wenli Zhu experienced undergraduate and postgraduate education in Peking University Health Science Center, and got a bachelor's degree of preventive medicine and a PhD of maternal and child Health. From 2000 to now, she was employed in the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Peking University Health Science Center, and held professorship in 2010.

Prof. Zhu focused on the maternal and child nutrition issues. The effects of dietary intake during early life on child’s development and health, and the molecular and genetic mechanisms were explored though cohort study. Also, the relationship of children’s feeding practices with maternal and family factors were investigated. The results would put forward effective nutritional intervention paths and strategy to promote the maximum of early child development and maternal health. Besides, the influence of individual and food environment on children's eating behavior and nutritional status was also concerned, to explore the integration of school-based nutrition education and nutrition services. Based on above academic background, Prof. Zhu participated in the development and evaluation of national children’s nutrition policies, actions and guidelines.
