Mrs. Lingyu Ding | Oncology | Distinguished Scientist Award

clinical nurse | Jiangsu province hospital | China

Lingyu Ding is a distinguished registered nurse at the Colorectal Surgery Department of The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University, specializing in oncology nursing, perioperative rehabilitation, and cancer-related frailty. She has made significant contributions to the development and validation of frailty assessment models for cancer survivors and has designed and pilot-tested multimodal interventions to manage frailty, demonstrating a strong commitment to improving patient outcomes. Her research has been published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, encompassing systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and observational studies that explore preoperative frailty, sedentary behavior, handgrip strength asymmetry, and postoperative outcomes among older adults with cancer. Lingyu has successfully secured and led a project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, reflecting her leadership and research capabilities, and she actively engages in collaborative projects with multidisciplinary teams. Her work has been recognized with prestigious awards for excellence in professional practice, innovative nursing interventions, and outstanding young talent, underscoring both her academic and clinical impact. Beyond her research, Lingyu contributes to the scholarly community as a peer reviewer for international journals, ensuring the rigor and quality of scientific publications. Her expertise spans both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, including randomized controlled trials, questionnaire design, phenomenological research, and grounded theory, complemented by proficiency in statistical analysis and academic writing. Through her clinical practice, research, and scholarly activities, Lingyu Ding advances the understanding and management of frailty in cancer patients, bridging the gap between evidence-based research and practical healthcare applications, and making a meaningful impact on patient care, health outcomes, and the broader field of oncology nursing. She has 361 citations from 33 documents with an h-index of 11.

Dr. Nayeralsadat Fatemi | Oncology | Best Researcher Award 

Researcher | Research Institute for Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases | Iran

Dr. Nayeralsadat Fatemi is a distinguished Research Scientist at the Research Institute for Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases (RIGLD), Tehran, Iran, with a profound background in genetics and molecular medicine. She obtained her B.Sc. in Genetics from Esfahan University in 2007, followed by an M.Sc. in Genetics from Shahrekord University in 2012, and earned her Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine from Zanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Dr. Fatemi’s research primarily focuses on colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal disorders, reproductive genetics, and the interplay between microbiota and cancer-related molecular pathways. Her work integrates genomics, transcriptomics, and bioinformatics analyses to uncover biomarkers, drug resistance mechanisms, and potential therapeutic targets. She has contributed to over thirty peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals, including Gut Pathogens, Virulence, Expert Reviews in Molecular Medicine, Digestive Diseases and Sciences, and International Journal of Cancer, with notable studies on Fusobacterium nucleatum in colorectal cancer, microRNA-mediated regulatory networks, and genetic causes of recurrent pregnancy loss. Dr. Fatemi has presented her findings at numerous national and international conferences, earning recognition for excellence in research communication, including Best Poster awards at reproductive medicine congresses. Beyond her research contributions, she serves as an active reviewer and editorial board member for several scientific journals in molecular medicine, cancer biology, and reproductive genetics, reflecting her commitment to advancing scientific rigor and knowledge dissemination in health sciences. Her career exemplifies a dedication to translational research, bridging fundamental molecular discoveries with clinical applications to improve diagnostics, therapeutics, and patient outcomes in gastroenterology and reproductive medicine. She has 218 citations from 31 documents with an h-index of 7.
