Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sina Andalib | Pharmacology | Best Researcher Award

correspond author | Zanjan university of medical sciences | Iran

Dr. Sina Andalib is an Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmacology, Pharmacy Faculty, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Tabriz Azad University in 2005, focusing on anti-inflammatory effects of statins, and completed his PhD at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in 2013, investigating the cardioprotective effects of Atorvastatin in isoproterenol-induced heart failure in rats. Dr. Andalib’s research spans pharmacology, neurodegenerative diseases, drug delivery systems, and natural product therapeutics, with a particular focus on Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and cancer. He has supervised numerous PhD and PharmD theses exploring innovative nanoparticle-based drug delivery, herbal and synthetic compound interventions, and molecular mechanisms underlying neuroprotection and cardioprotection. His work has been published extensively in high-impact international journals including ACS Chemical Neuroscience, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, International Journal of Pharmaceutics, and European Journal of Pharmacology, covering topics such as nanocomposite hydrogels for wound healing, fullerene-based interventions in Alzheimer’s models, and polypharmacological effects of anticancer compounds. Dr. Andalib has contributed to several internationally collaborative projects, including the development of nanocomposites for neuroprotection and polypharmacological studies of anticancer compounds in organoid models. He has received recognition for his scientific contributions in pharmacology and neurotherapeutics and serves on editorial boards of peer-reviewed journals in pharmacology and drug delivery research. In addition to his research, he holds leadership roles at Zanjan University, including Head of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology and Head of the Education Development Office, fostering academic development and innovative research in pharmaceutical sciences. He has 751 citations from 39 documents with an h-index of 15.
