Hanqi Luo

Dr. Hanqi Luo serves as an Assistant Research Professor and Chair of the Data Management Group for the BRINDA project at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. Her work focuses on advancing methodologies for dietary and biomarker analysis, micronutrient intervention cost-effectiveness, and addressing health disparities through open-source tools like the SIMPLE macro and UCD/NCI 1-day method. She holds a Ph.D. and postdoctoral training in epidemiology/nutrition from UC Davis and Tufts University, with a B.S. from University of Science and Technology Beijing.

Research interests span global health, nutrition science, statistical modeling, and data-driven public health solutions. Her recent work examines anemia prevalence in pregnancy, post-pandemic nutritional shifts, and iron deficiency trends exacerbated by socioeconomic factors. Key contributions include developing inflammation-adjusted biomarker thresholds and evaluating fortification strategies in Cameroon, Ghana, and Haiti.

Publications highlight her focus on maternal health, micronutrient deficiencies, and global health equity. Dr. Luo's work bridges clinical research and policy, emphasizing user-friendly tools to democratize nutrition analysis across resource-limited settings.
