Rasha Saleh

Rasha Saleh is a Senior Research Associate at the Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, where she contributes to the Lifespan Health and Nutrition and Preventive Medicine research groups. Her work focuses on the intersection of nutrition, genetics, and cognitive health, particularly in aging and menopausal women.

Education:

• Doctor of Medicine (MD), Alexandria University, 2018
• Master of Science (MSc), Alexandria University, 2011
• Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), Alexandria University, 2005

Her research interests include nutritional neuroscience, preventive medicine, APOE-related Alzheimer’s risk, omega-3 fatty acids, hormone replacement therapy, and cancer prevention. She has made significant contributions to understanding how genetic and dietary factors interact to influence brain and colorectal health.

Her recent publications highlight trends in personalized nutrition and hormonal modulation for disease prevention, particularly in high-risk populations such as APOE4 carriers. Her work spans clinical trials, genetic analysis, and population-based studies, often using large datasets like the UK Biobank and EPAD cohort.
