Mr. Zelimkhan Berikkhanov | Clinical Medicine | Young Researcher Award

Assistant Professor | I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University | Russia

Dr. Zelimkhan Berikkhanov is a clinician-scientist whose work spans thoracic surgery, pulmonology, infectious diseases, oncology, and public health, with a strong emphasis on developing evidence-based approaches to complex respiratory and surgical disorders. His professional career integrates academic leadership as an assistant professor and methodologist with active clinical responsibilities at the National Medical Research Center for Pulmonology and Sechenov University, where he contributes to advanced surgical care, methodological development, and multidisciplinary education. His research portfolio reflects a diverse and impactful scholarly trajectory, encompassing peer-reviewed studies on tracheal reconstruction, thoracic oncology, diaphragmatic trauma, critical respiratory conditions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COVID-associated pneumonia, nanomaterials in gastrointestinal pathology, digital tools in chronic disease management, and telemedicine in pulmonology. He has collaborated extensively with leading national and international experts, contributing to multi-center investigations, clinical guidelines, and translational research aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy, postoperative outcomes, and respiratory care pathways. His scientific productivity is demonstrated through a broad range of publications across high-quality journals, addressing both fundamental mechanisms and applied clinical innovations. His work on COVID-19 significantly advanced understanding of silent hypoxemia, cavitary lung disease, vibroacoustic therapy, and pharmacologic strategies, while his contributions to thoracic surgery strengthened evidence on complex tracheal and bronchial interventions. His participation in research on artificial intelligence for mortality prediction, biomarkers for pulmonary hypertension, metabolic instability in malignancies, and advanced imaging of the lymphatic system underscores his commitment to cross-disciplinary innovation. Through active collaboration, methodological leadership, and involvement in forward-looking clinical studies, Dr. Berikkhanov has helped shape modern approaches to respiratory medicine and thoracic surgery, generating insights that support better patient outcomes and inform national strategies in pulmonary care. His work continues to influence clinical practice, strengthen scientific networks, and enhance healthcare delivery through integrated, technology-supported, and patient-centered frameworks. He has 62 citations from 27 documents with an h-index of 4.
