About Alvin
Alvin is widely experienced in lipid science, including marine, animal, and plant fatty acids, phospholipids, sphingolipids, gangliosides, and plant sterols. His research has addressed health areas ranging from cardiovascular and metabolic health to cognition, inflammation, skin, bone, diabetes, and immunity, with work published in leading scientific journals and represented in patents, reviews, and scientific papers.
His career also spans the commercial side of science. Alvin has led nutrition, lipid, analytical, intellectual-property, metabolomics, and biochemistry initiatives for multinational companies and startups; developed research programs across laboratory, animal, and clinical settings; and supported product development and commercialization in food, supplement, drug, and diagnostic markets. He is an adjunct professor of nutrition at the University of Minnesota and co-founder of LifeSense Products.
