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.

Assist. Prof. Dr. Konstantinos Papageorgiou | Molecular Diagnostics | Best Researcher Award 

School of Veterinary Medicine | Aristotle University of Thessaloniki | Greece

Dr. Konstantinos Papageorgiou is a Greek veterinarian and microbiologist with expertise in veterinary public health, infectious diseases, molecular diagnostics, food safety, and zoonoses. He earned his Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) and later completed a PhD in Veterinary Microbiology from the same institution. For over two decades, he served as a military veterinarian and microbiologist in the Hellenic Army, where he led hygiene inspections, managed microbiological laboratories, ensured food safety standards, and oversaw molecular diagnostic departments. His international training in molecular virology, bioinformatics, and next-generation sequencing, combined with advanced certifications in biorisk and project risk management, strengthened his scientific and leadership profile. He transitioned to academia and is now Assistant Professor at the Laboratory of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, AUTH, where he focuses on teaching, research, and laboratory management. His research interests include zoonoses, molecular diagnostics, laboratory quality systems, and environmental surveillance, with a particular focus on integrating advanced molecular methods and sequencing technologies into pathogen detection and public health monitoring. His contributions include studies on zoonotic viruses such as Pseudorabies Virus in wildlife, while his academic output reflects 29 documents, 255 citations by 250 documents, and an h-index of 10, highlighting his impact in veterinary microbiology and public health. Through his interdisciplinary background, he bridges animal health, public health, and laboratory science to enhance infectious disease surveillance and control.
