Dr. Shanshan Li | Molecular Biology | Excellence in Research Award

Assistant Researcher | Zhejiang University | China

Dr. Shanshan Li is a dedicated researcher specializing in the chemistry, processing, and bioactivity of bee-derived products, with a strong emphasis on propolis, royal jelly, and protein–polyphenol systems. Her work bridges food chemistry, molecular biology, and functional ingredient development to uncover how processing technologies—such as ultrasound treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis—alter protein structures and enhance antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities. She has significantly advanced the understanding of protein–polyphenol interactions and their role in improving the functional properties of natural compounds. Dr. Li employs advanced analytical approaches, including proteomics, transcriptomics, and bioinformatics, to investigate molecular mechanisms and cellular pathways influenced by bee product components. Her research also includes comparative studies of milk fat globule membrane proteins across animal species, contributing to broader innovations in food science and bioactive ingredient development. With 998 citations across 943 documents, 50 publications, and an h-index of 21, Dr. Li has established a strong scientific presence. Her contributions support the development of health-promoting ingredients and the translation of natural bioactives into functional foods.

Dr. Ebrahim Souri Laki, Ph.D., is a plant scientist specializing in plant production, genetic improvement, and agronomic trait analysis, with a research focus on quinoa and rice. Affiliated with the Department of Plant Production and Genetic Engineering at the University of Guilan, Iran, his work integrates field evaluations, genotype–environment interaction studies, and molecular marker–based analyses to enhance crop performance. He has contributed to advancements in identifying superior quinoa genotypes, assessing grain yield stability across diverse environments, and uncovering SSR markers linked to key agronomic and morpho-phenological traits. His publications in journals such as Cereal Research, Frontiers in Plant Science, Scientific Reports, and Agriculture highlight his expertise in trait association studies, genetic variability assessment, and the development of improved crop lines. Through collaborative, data-driven research, Souri Laki aims to support sustainable agriculture, improve crop resilience, and develop high-yielding cultivars suited to Iran’s diverse agro-climatic conditions.
