Biosketch:
Wei Bao, M.D., Ph.D., is a postdoctoral fellow who joined the Epidemiology Branch in 2011. He earned both his medical degree and Ph.D. in Nutrition and Food Hygiene from Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China. He also earned a bachelor degree in Biological Science from Wuhan University in China. He was awarded the Scholarship Award for Excellent Doctoral Student granted by the China Ministry of Education, Qiu Fazu Scholarship Award by the Qiu Fazu Foundation, and Travel Grant Award by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). His research interest focuses on the life course epidemiology of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), including identifying lifetime risk factors and etiologic markers of GDM, and determinants of health consequences after GDM in both the women and offspring. He also has interest in identifying genetic, non-genetic factors (e.g., dietary and lifestyle, etc.) and gene-environment interactions in relation to long-term weight gain, obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Currently, he serves as a principal investigator for a research project entitled "Supplemental Iron and Gestational Diabetes", which is funded by the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (2012-2013; PIs: Drs. Katherine Bowers & Wei Bao; Mentor: Dr. Cuilin Zhang). In addition, he acts as a co-investigator and the NICHD primary point-of-contact for biospecimen issues in the ongoing Diabetes & Women’s Health Study (www.dwhstudy.org; 2010-2015; PI: Dr. Cuilin Zhang).
