Manios Ioannis

Professor Manios Ioannis is a faculty member in the Department of Administration Studies and Human Resources at Harokopio University. His academic focus combines nutritional science with public health interventions, particularly targeting obesity and chronic cardiometabolic diseases across life stages. He leads multidisciplinary research initiatives and has contributed to prominent studies like the ToyBox and Feel4Diabetes projects.

Education background includes degrees from the University of Crete (Preventive Medicine & Nutrition, 1998), University of Sheffield (Human Nutrition & Sports Medicine, 1994/1990), and Democritus University (Sports Science, 1989). His research emphasizes intersectoral collaboration in healthcare systems, optimal growth assessment in infants, and functional food applications.

Research interests span cross-sectoral health promotion interventions, childhood nutrition optimization, chronic disease risk factor analysis, and clinical trial methodologies. His work bridges academic research with practical tools for population-level health improvement, including BMI tracking systems and nutritional assessment instruments.

Key contributions include developing community-based diabetes prevention programs and studying infant formula impacts on metabolic health. Collaborations extend across European institutions through initiatives like the ToyBox Study Group and Feel4Diabetes consortium, demonstrating commitment to translational research.

Advising focuses on large-scale public health projects rather than individual student mentorship, reflected in his extensive involvement with epidemiological studies and intervention design teams.
