Chai’s CRCH research focuses on nutritional epidemiology and chronic disease (particularly cancer and obesity) prevention.  In addition, her doctoral research was primarily concentrated on dietary oxalate and kidney stone formation. More than 10 manuscripts based on her research have been published or submitted for publication to
