Mohammad Azam Mansoor

Mohammad Azam Mansoor is a Professor at the Department of Natural Sciences, University of Agder (UiA). He holds a Ph.D. (dr. philos) from the Institute for Clinical Biology, Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Bergen (1994). His teaching spans Biochemistry, Medical Biochemistry, and Organic Chemistry, with a focus on research in redox biology, folate metabolism, and the interplay between nutrition and clinical biomarkers. Dr. Mansoor has contributed extensively to understanding how genetic polymorphisms, dietary interventions, and oxidative stress affect metabolic pathways, particularly in conditions like IgA nephropathy and cardiovascular health.

His research groups include Biomedicine and Health, Behavior, Diversity, and Social Inclusion. He has been a key contributor to studies on the systemic redox status in chronic diseases, the impact of B-vitamins, and analytical methodologies like HPLC for biomarker quantification. Dr. Mansoor has collaborated on interdisciplinary projects, including assessments of organic food safety and nutrient fortification models for the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety. His work often involves clinical trials and observational studies, linking biochemical markers to public health outcomes.

Dr. Mansoor's recent publications highlight his expertise in redox biology, folate-homocysteine-glutathione dynamics, and pharmacogenomics. For instance, his 2025 study on antioxidant-enzyme gene SNPs' effects on plasma biomarkers after folic acid supplementation demonstrates his focus on personalized nutrition. Earlier works (2022, 2020) explore redox-inflammatory biomarkers in IgA nephropathy, while 2018-2015 studies address metabolic interactions in kidney disease and nutrient supplementation. His contributions to HPLC methodology and the biochemical impacts of antiepileptic drugs underscore his analytical and clinical research strengths.
