Dr. Carlos Celis-Morales is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow's School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health, affiliated with the BHF Glasgow Cardiovascular Research Centre. He holds a PhD from the University of Glasgow (2011) and conducted postdoctoral research at Newcastle University's Human Nutrition Research Centre. His research focuses on lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, diet) and their role in non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and cancer. He has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers and co-led the Food4Me personalized nutrition trial. Current interests include epidemiological studies of physical activity and diet in chronic disease populations.

Key affiliations include the School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health and collaboration with the BHF Glasgow CVRC. Research themes emphasize large cohort studies (e.g., UK Biobank) and intervention trials. Dr. Celis-Morales mentors PhD students and visiting researchers in physical activity epidemiology and nutritional science. He prioritizes translating evidence into public health strategies.

Notable contributions include analyzing genetic predisposition's interaction with lifestyle, dietary biomarkers, and mental health-cardiovascular disease pathways. His work spans epidemiology, nutritional science, and clinical outcomes analysis.
