Dr. Bahareh Mansoorian is a lecturer and co-programme lead in Nutrition and Dietetics at Glasgow Caledonian University. She has previously worked as a lecturer and programme lead for the BSc (Hons) Nutrition programme at Queen Margaret University and as a lecturer in Nutrition at the University of Glasgow. Her research spans gut microbiome interactions, food matrix effects, and the development of proteomic biomarkers for chronic disease prevention. She is also interested in sustainable nutrition, food system resilience, and the intersection of nutrition and psychology, particularly the impact of screen dysmorphia on eating behaviour and physical activity.
She completed her PhD at the University of Glasgow, investigating dietary fibre-polyphenolic interactions and their effects on the gut microbiome and cardiovascular health, combining her interest in nutrition, systems biology, and metabolomics. She later pursued postdoctoral research at Glasgow University, collaborating internationally on proteomic biomarker development for early disease detection— integrating her interests in nutrition, health, and systems biology for disease prevention and diagnostics.
Bahareh is an assessor for the Association for Nutrition and an active member of several professional organisations.
Beyond academia, Bahareh is passionate about science communication and engagement. She founded the Curious Club and co-founded Trig Point, an initiative dedicated to enhancing science communication and fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration.
