Dr. Roque Ribeiro Da Silva Júnior | Biology and Life Sciences | Best Researcher Award

Universidade Do Estado Do Rio Grande Do Norte | Brazil

Dr. Roque Ribeiro da Silva Júnior is a physiotherapist-researcher whose academic journey has progressed from a bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy to a master’s in Health and Society at the Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), and currently a doctoral candidate in Physiological Sciences at the same institution. With specialisations in Human Physiology (UECE) and Traumatology-Orthopaedic Physiotherapy (FAVENI), he brings strong methodological rigour to his work. He has taught courses in human anatomy, physiology of exercise, gerontology and trauma-orthopaedics, and served as preceptor and professor in undergraduate and technical programmes. He has co-authored systematic reviews and meta-analyses addressing high-fat diet and exercise impacts on BDNF, and cashew nut oxidative stress in animal models, demonstrating interdisciplinary reach. His clinical practice as a registered professional reinforces his commitment to evidence-based physiotherapy. Recognised for his academic engagement and strong teaching-practice linkage, his contributions span publications, book chapters and supervision of TCC (final course studies). In conclusion, Dr. Da Silva Júnior exemplifies the clinician-scientist model, advancing both pedagogy and research to foster improved health outcomes.

Department of Pathophysiology of Locomotor Organs, Poznań University of Medical Sciences | Poland

Katarzyna Kaczmarek and Juliusz Huber are Polish biomedical researchers whose collaborative work spans clinical neurophysiology, locomotor organ pathophysiology, and diagnostics. Huber holds a full professorship in the Department of Pathophysiology of Locomotor Organs at Poznań University of Medical Sciences, His Sciprofiles entry indicates a recognized researcher ID and affiliation at Poznań UMS. Their educational backgrounds include advanced degrees in biomedical sciences and related fields, enabling integration of clinical and neurophysiological methodologies. Together, they have led studies correlating provocative clinical signs (e.g. Tinel, Phalen) with nerve conduction parameters in carpal tunnel syndrome. Their research interests include peripheral neuropathies, electromyography/nerve conduction studies, diagnostic method validation, and translational neurophysiology. They have contributed to both clinical and methodological scholarship.
