Assist. Prof. Dr. Marwa Hassan | Molecular Biology | Best Researcher Award

Theodor Bilharz Research Institute | Egypt

Marwa Hassan is an immunologist with substantive contributions in stem cell biology, molecular immunology, and translational research. She also holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Healthcare & Hospital Management (American University in Cairo, 2020). Over her career she has held roles from resident researcher to acting head of department at the Immunology Division of TBRI, and has organized and led numerous specialized training courses (e.g. stem cell culture, molecular immunology, ELISA). Her research interests include non-coding RNAs, stem cell differentiation, immune regulation in liver disease, and biomarker development. She has published in peer-reviewed journals (e.g. on circulating liver cancer stem cells) and contributed to capacity building via workshops and academic leadership. Her awards and recognitions reflect her dual strengths in research and academic service. In sum, Dr. Hassan combines rigorous scientific inquiry with institutional leadership, advancing immunology and regenerative medicine in Egypt and beyond.

Prof. Yan Ding | Biology and Life Sciences | Excellence in Research

China Medical University | China

Dr. Yan Ding is a biomedical researcher with a doctorate from China Medical University, Shenyang. Her academic training includes a Bachelor’s degree from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, a Master’s and PhD from China Medical University. Since 2013, she has progressed through roles in experimental research—assistant experimentalist, experimentalist, and since 2022, senior experimentalist—at the Institute of Metabolic Disease Research & Drug Development and the College of Basic Medical Science. Her research focuses on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying lung injury, inflammation, epithelial sodium transport, miRNA regulation, pulmonary fibrosis and herbal / natural compounds’ effects. She has published numerous first-author papers addressing roles of miRNAs (e.g. miR-130a-3p, miR-199a-3p, miR-21), luteolin’s therapeutic potential, regulation of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways. she has an h-index of 6 with 143 citations overall. Throughout her career, she has also contributed to studies of lung fluid clearance, regulatory mechanisms during viral infections, and herbal monomers in edematous disorders. Awards include recognition for excellence in experimental work (institutional). In conclusion, Dr. Ding is an emerging researcher building a solid track record in pulmonary molecular biology, with demonstrated expertise in miRNAs, ion channel regulation, and translational potential in lung disease therapy.
