Dr. Showkat Ahmad Bhat | Translational Research | Editorial Board Member

Associate Professor | Deptt. of Biochemistry, Govt. Medical College Handwara | India

Dr. Showkat Ahmad Bhat is an accomplished biochemist and academic leader whose work spans clinical biochemistry, cancer biology, molecular biology, proteomics, and communicable diseases, reflecting a career dedicated to advancing both fundamental understanding and applied biomedical research. As an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Government Medical College Handwara, he has developed a strong interdisciplinary portfolio with widely cited contributions across diverse domains, including the pharmacological potential of natural compounds, heavy metal toxicity, inflammatory mediators in metabolic disorders, animal and poultry health, and infectious disease pathogenesis. His research on bioactive phytochemicals such as zingerone, naringenin, and D-limonene has provided valuable insights into antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and organ-protective mechanisms, while his work on microbial threats such as Salmonella, gastrointestinal parasites, and foot-and-mouth disease has informed both veterinary and public health perspectives. Dr. Bhat has collaborated extensively with national and international researchers, contributing to reviews, experimental studies, and translational investigations published in reputable journals spanning medical, veterinary, and biochemical sciences. His scholarship also extends to emerging fields such as epigenetic markers and microRNAs in breast cancer, reflecting his commitment to integrating molecular diagnostics with clinical needs. Beyond research, he has helped shape scientific understanding in the Kashmir region by addressing local health challenges, supporting capacity-building, and promoting evidence-based approaches in clinical biochemistry and infectious disease management. His cumulative body of work underscores a sustained commitment to improving human and animal health through rigorous inquiry, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the pursuit of innovative, socially relevant solutions. He has 546 citations from 28 documents with an h-index of 10.

Mr. Meng Li | Clinical Medicine | Best Medical Scientist Award 

professor | Dandong Central Hospital | China

Dr. Meng Li currently serves as a Teaching Secretary and Professor of General Surgery at China Medical University and is also affiliated with Dandong Central Hospital, the largest Grade-A general hospital in the Liaodong region. She earned her Ph.D. in Oncology from China Medical University, one of the leading medical universities in China. Her primary research focuses on digestive tract tumor surgery, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, gastrointestinal oncology, and the comprehensive treatment of malignant tumors. Over the years, Dr. Li has contributed significantly to the medical research community, publishing seven SCI/Scopus-indexed papers, including works on predictive models for intraabdominal infections after radical gastrectomy, gene signatures in hepatocarcinoma prognosis, and gut microbiota’s role in urological cancers. Her research has accumulated over 47 citations and has advanced understanding in cancer surgery and molecular oncology. In recognition of her outstanding contributions, she received the First Prize of the Liaoning Province Science and Technology Progress Award in 2023. Dr. Li actively participates in collaborative projects, including two National Natural Science Foundation programs, and holds memberships in several professional bodies such as the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and the Chinese Pancreatic Disease Society. She also serves as an Editorial Board Member of the Cancer Research Journal (CRJ), a guest editor for two scientific journals, and a review editor for others, reflecting her strong commitment to scientific advancement and peer review excellence. Her long-term goal is to deepen molecular insights into cancer and improve clinical outcomes through innovative surgical research. He has 213 citations from 17 documents with an h-index of 7.
