Prof. Henry Nelson Puerta-Guardo | Microbe-Host Biology and Vector Control | Best Researcher Award

Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan | Mexico

Dr. Henry Puerta-Guardo is an accomplished Associate Research Professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY), Mexico, recognized for his extensive contributions to virology, viral pathogenesis, and vector-borne disease research. He completed his academic training in bacteriology at the University of San Buenaventura, followed by a master’s degree in microbiology and cellular biology from the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research, a PhD in infectomics and molecular pathogenesis from CINVESTAV, and postdoctoral research in viral pathogenesis at the University of California, Berkeley. His professional career spans research, teaching, and editorial roles in leading institutions and journals, where he explores the molecular mechanisms of dengue and Zika viruses, host-pathogen interactions, and vector control strategies. His primary research interests include endothelial barrier dysfunction, immune response to flavivirus infections, molecular virology, and epidemiology of arboviruses. Dr. Puerta-Guardo is skilled in cellular and molecular biology, vascular-endothelial biology, and diagnostics development. His numerous awards, such as the National Laboratory for Genomics in Biodiversity Award, the Wellcome Trust Award, and recognition from the National System for Researchers, highlight his scientific excellence. Through innovative interdisciplinary collaborations, he continues to advance global understanding of emerging infectious diseases and develop preventive strategies against arbovirus transmission in endemic regions.

Prof Dr. Mohammad Ebrahimipour | Microbiology | Best Researcher Award

 

 

Profile

Education

He holds a PhD in Medical Parasitology from the Department of Parasitology & Mycology at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran (2017). He earned his MSPH in Medical Parasitology from the School of Public Health & Institute of Public Health Research at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran (2012). Additionally, he completed his B.Sc. in Medical Entomology from the School of Public Health at Bandar Abbas University of Medical Sciences, Bandar Abbas, Iran (2008).

 

Work experience

He has presented several research abstracts at prestigious scientific meetings. His work includes a meta-analysis on the prevalence of intestinal parasites among food handlers in Asian and African countries, presented at the 2nd International and 9th National Congress of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases of Iran (NICOPA9) in Guilan, Iran (May 20–22, 2015). Additionally, he conducted a retrospective analysis of human hydatidosis in Khorasan Province, a hyperendemic area in Iran, which was also presented at NICOPA9.

Further, Dr. [Name] contributed to a study on the rate of Plasmodium vivax infectivity in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Hormozgan Province, Iran, showcased at the same congress. Another significant presentation includes research on the prevalence and time-trend analysis of intestinal parasitic infections in Nazarabad, Alborz Province, Iran, based on data from 2012 to 2016, which was presented at the 3rd International and 10th National Congress of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases of Iran (NICOPA10).

Research interest

He is a member of the Iranian Society of Parasitology since 2017. His research interests focus on the epidemiology of parasitic diseases, particularly vector-borne infections, as well as the clinical aspects and control strategies for parasitic diseases. His work aims to enhance understanding and develop effective interventions for managing parasitic infections in endemic regions.
