Dr. Bachi was a Visiting Professor at UNIFESP (Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo) and currently is a postgraduate Professor at Santo Amaro University &#8211; UNISA, developing research projects in the area of basic and clinical immunology, e.g. related to the effects of regular physical exercise important in the prevention of upper airway diseases, in athletes as well as in the older adults. These studies, both using experimental models as well as clinical studies, investigate, amongst others, \u00a0the effect of food supplements that are thought to modulate the immune\/inflammatory responses, such as glutamine, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and probiotics, particularly the Lactobacillus casei Shirota. Dr. Bachi\u2019s main interest is in the mechanisms of inflammatory responses, with an emphasis on a better understanding of the roles of cells and molecules produced after the activation of the immune system (antibodies, pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines, regulatory cytokines, oxidative metabolism, with e.g. the role of low-weight lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and antioxidant mechanisms).

He was visiting fellow at Monash University, Australia to understand the structure-function relationship of bacteriocins. Thereafter, he has been continuously engaged in teaching and research for the last 22 years. For his outstanding teaching, he was recently awarded Best Teacher Award by Microbiologist Society, India. For his research contribution, he was awarded the Young Scientist award by the Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi. His major thrust area of research is to develop bacteriocins of probiotic lactic acid bacteria as therapeutic agents for the treatment of human and animal diseases. His research work has been recognized at national and international level and published in several international journals of repute such as Biotechnology Advances, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal of Applied Microbiology etc. He has completed ten major research projects and has a vast understanding of bacteriocins of probiotic lactic acid bacteria.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-aef318d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"aef318d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9c8070d\" data-id=\"9c8070d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-393f0c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"393f0c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/yakultsymposiumbrazil.com.br\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Seyed-Hossein-Hoseinifar.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1392\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yakultsymposiumbrazil.com.br\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Seyed-Hossein-Hoseinifar.jpg 820w, https:\/\/yakultsymposiumbrazil.com.br\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Seyed-Hossein-Hoseinifar-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/yakultsymposiumbrazil.com.br\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Seyed-Hossein-Hoseinifar-788x1024.jpg 788w, https:\/\/yakultsymposiumbrazil.com.br\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Seyed-Hossein-Hoseinifar-768x998.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9a9fde7\" data-id=\"9a9fde7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff4a52b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ff4a52b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Seyed Hossein Hoseinifa<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b09251a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b09251a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"s2\"><span class=\"s2\">Dr. Seyed Hossein Hoseinifar <\/span><span class=\"s2\">is currently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Fisheries at Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Gorg\u0101n<\/span><span class=\"s2\">, <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Golstan<\/span><span class=\"s2\">, Iran, as well as an <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Adjunct Professor at Chiang Mai University (Thailand) since 2017.
