• Chikowore’s research, Optimizing dietary intake for global diabetes prevention: a culturally sensitive, AI and data-driven approach, looks to improve diabetes prevention by providing personalized, culturally tailored dietary strategies through a mobile application.
• “How can evidence-based dietary recommendations for diabetes prevention be personalized to reflect the rich diversity and dynamic nature of eating patterns across the globe? I am deeply honored to receive this prestigious award from the American Diabetes Association, which enables my team and collaborators to address this critical challenge by integrating proteomics, artificial intelligence, and data-driven approaches. Through this work, we aim to develop a scalable mobile application that delivers culturally sensitive, personalized dietary guidance to support sustainable diabetes prevention worldwide.”
