Dr. Marius Sipping | Pharmacology | Best Researcher Award

Slovak Academy of Sciences | Slovakia

Dr. Marius Sipping is a postdoctoral researcher at the Slovak Academy of Sciences, specializing in biochemistry, pharmacology, and biotechnology. His work focuses on the exploration and characterization of bioactive natural compounds with therapeutic potential against cancer, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. With 10 peer-reviewed journal publications and one authored book, his research has significantly contributed to the understanding of polysaccharide-rich fractions from Ganoderma resinaceum and their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-metastatic properties. He has completed five major research projects that integrate molecular biology and translational pharmacology. His citation records reflect his growing global impact, with an h-index of 6 on ResearchGate, 3 on Web of Science. These indices underscore his citation influence and scientific reach within the biomedical research community. His international collaborations with researchers across Africa, India, Slovakia, Italy, and France have advanced translational applications of natural compounds for cancer and inflammatory disease therapeutics. His interdisciplinary expertise in immunopharmacology, cancer biology, and phytomedicine demonstrates a strong commitment to developing innovative nano-delivery systems and data-driven therapeutic strategies, positioning him as a rising contributor to global life science research.

Prof. Dr. Jes Rust | Life Sciences Innovation | Best Researcher Award

Prof. Dr. Jes Rust | Bonner Institut fur Organismische Biologie (BIOB) | Germany

Prof. Dr. Jes Rust is an outstanding candidate for the Best Researcher Award, with an impressive scholarly record: he has published  41 documents, garnered 1,800 citations, and holds an h-index of about 46, evidence of both consistent productivity and strong impact in invertebrate palaeontology and evolutionary biology. His work, covering the evolution, phylogeny and paleobiology of insects, the early evolution of arthropods, molluscs, and theoretical aspects of phylogeny and systematics, has not only enriched fundamental scientific understanding but also shaped disciplinary debates. Since his habilitation, and especially in his long tenure as Professor at the University of Bonn, Jes Rust has combined rigorous field and laboratory research with high-quality publications and editorial leadership (e.g. editorship of Palaeontographica A), further amplifying his influence in the scientific community. His citation count and h-index reflect that many of his papers are regularly referenced, confirming their lasting relevance. In addition, his leadership roles in scientific societies and committees demonstrate recognition by peers. Taken together, his documents, citations, and metric indicators make Prof. Dr. Jes Rust an eminently suitable laureate for the Best Researcher Award.
