Researcher | Islamic Azad University | Iran

Navid Abedpoor is a dedicated researcher specializing in sport physiology and sport nutrition, currently contributing to the Medicinal Plants Research Center, Department of Physiology, where he works in the Advanced Cell Culture laboratory. His research focuses on the molecular and physiological mechanisms linking exercise, nutrition, metabolic regulation, and disease prevention, with emerging interests in the interactions between the brain–gut axis, adipose-tissue signaling, mitochondrial biogenesis, and inflammatory pathways. He has explored how endurance exercise, herbal bioactive compounds, amino acid supplementation, and metabolic stressors modulate key genes, long non-coding RNAs, and mRNA–miRNA networks in disorders such as depression, obesity, colitis, heart dysfunction, and type 2 diabetes. Throughout his professional experience as a research scientist in physiology and molecular biology, Abedpoor has collaborated extensively with multidisciplinary teams to investigate how physical activity influences cardiac protection, adipose-tissue endocrine function, and systemic inflammation, contributing to several impactful publications and conference proceedings. His major contributions include identifying hub genes and signaling networks involved in exercise-induced physiological adaptation, documenting the cardioprotective effects of PPARγ modulation, demonstrating anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic outcomes of specific herbal formulations, and co-authoring systematic reviews that highlight miRNA-related biomarkers relevant to gastrointestinal cancers. His work has advanced current understanding of metabolic pathways influenced by diet, exercise, and bioactive compounds, offering potential innovations in preventive strategies, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic development. Abedpoor’s studies also provide policy-relevant insights for public-health initiatives promoting physical activity and nutritionally informed interventions to reduce the burden of metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Driven by a commitment to improving health outcomes through integrative physiology and molecular research, his vision centers on leveraging exercise science, nutraceuticals, and precision molecular profiling to inform more effective, accessible, and evidence-based solutions for chronic disease management. He aims to translate his findings into advances that benefit scientific communities, healthcare systems, and society by fostering stronger links between laboratory discovery, clinical practice, and population-level health innovation.
