🎓 Congratulations to Dr. Li-Hsuan Chen!
A huge congratulations to Li-Hsuan Chen on successfully defending his PhD today (May 19, 2026) at Aarhus University! đź‘Ź
His thesis, “Impact of Dietary Protein and Amino Acid Levels on the Gut Metabolome and Intestinal Epithelial Function in Weaned Piglets,” explores how dietary protein and essential amino acids influence gut health in piglets during the critical weaning period.
Li-Hsuan’s research tackles an important global challenge—antimicrobial resistance—by improving our understanding of how nutrition can reduce the need for antibiotics in pig production. Through innovative use of metabolomics and intestinal epithelial models, he identified key mechanisms showing how essential amino acids can support gut health and counteract harmful fermentation products.
His work provides valuable insights for developing more sustainable and health-oriented feeding strategies in livestock production.
Well done on this impressive achievement, Li-Hsuan, and best of luck in your future career! 🌟
