Dr. Dmitri Lapotko | Automated Cancer Diagnostics | Best Researcher Award

Scorpido Photonics Inc | United States

Dr. Dmitri Lapotko is the pi, cto, and ceo at scorpidophotonics inc., and a pioneering researcher in the field of plasmonic nanobubbles. He invented laser-generated nano-explosions capable of detecting and treating lethal diseases such as cancers and malaria at the cellular level in real time, automating processes to minimize dependence on human expertise and reduce errors. His groundbreaking technology enables the instant detection of single cancer cells in vivo and selectively destroys them on-demand, achieving performance previously unattainable with conventional methods, Automated cancer diagnostics. Dr. lapotko has led numerous research initiatives, including the nih u01 project “harnessing cancer aggressiveness to overcome cancer resistance” and the nsf project “instant diagnosis of cancers with plasmonic nanobubbles,”. he has authored multiple scholarly documents in high-impact journals, with a total of 357 citations, an h-index of 8, i10-index of 7, and 349 citations, reflecting the influence and reach of his work in biomedical optics and nanomedicine. His contributions also extend to consultancy and industry projects focused on instant, automated, and minimally invasive detection of microscopic cancers in patients. With a consistent record of innovation, dr. lapotko continues to advance the frontiers of real-time cellular diagnostics and targeted therapy, merging cutting-edge photonics with life-saving medical applications.

Ms. Jianzhao Yin | Gynecological Tumor | Best Researcher Award

Gansu Provincial Hospital | China

Jianzhao yin is an associate chief physician at Gansu provincial hospital, with nearly ten years of dedicated work in obstetrics and gynecology. After completing a master of medical science in obstetrics and gynecology at Xinjiang medical university, she embarked on a multifaceted career combining clinical practice, teaching, and research. Her clinical work involves diagnosis and treatment of women’s reproductive health issues, prenatal and postnatal care, and surgical and non-surgical gynecological procedures. In her teaching role, she trains medical students, residents, and fellows, contributing to curriculum development and mentoring future gynecologists. Her research interests focus on improving maternal and fetal outcomes, Gynecological tumor, disorders of pregnancy, gynecologic surgery, and women’s health more broadly. Over the past decade she has published 2 documents in peer-reviewed outlets, presented at national and regional conferences, and collaborated with colleagues on clinical studies. Though specific bibliometric indicators such as h-index and citation metrics are not currently available, her scholarly work has helped to inform best practices in obstetrics and gynecology in her institution, and her ongoing efforts are expected to increase his academic visibility. Through her combined roles, jian-zhao yin aims to bridge patient care, medical education, and research to advance women’s health in her region.
