Prof. Ylenia Della Rocca | Medicine and Health Sciences | Research Excellence Award 

Link University | Italy

Ylenia Della Rocca is an Associate Professor of Histology and Embryology and Physiology whose research profile is internationally recognized in the fields of stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and advanced in vitro modeling for precision medicine. Her scientific activity is strongly interdisciplinary, integrating histology, embryology, molecular biology, biomaterials, and translational medicine, with a particular focus on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), extracellular vesicles, and 3D culture systems. Her core research line centers on the reprogramming of autologous human gingival mesenchymal stem cells into iPSCs and their differentiation toward functional cell types, especially cardiomyocytes and neural lineages. This work has led to innovative strategies for cardiac regeneration and personalized regenerative therapies, culminating in a patented non-integrative reprogramming and cardiomyogenic differentiation process. Through advanced molecular and morphological analyses, her studies elucidate the signaling pathways governing cell fate, inflammation, hypoxia response, and extracellular matrix remodeling. A distinctive element of her research is the development and application of organ-on-a-chip and tissue-on-a-chip platforms, including bone-on-a-chip and cardiac models, to study disease mechanisms, environmental pollutant toxicity, and therapeutic responses. Within national and international projects, she has contributed to the creation of physiologically relevant in vitro systems that reduce reliance on animal models while increasing translational relevance. Her work on environmental pollutants, such as bisphenol A and pesticides, has clarified their impact on inflammatory, apoptotic, and epigenetic pathways in stem cells and endothelial models.

Dr. Aliyar Mirzapour is an accomplished Iranian parasitologist and medical researcher affiliated with the Department of Parasitology and Mycology, School of Medicine, Islamic Azad University, Mashhad Branch. His scholarly contributions span a wide range of parasitic diseases, with a strong emphasis on systematic reviews, meta-analyses, molecular diagnostics, zoonotic parasites, and epidemiological patterns of infections affecting both humans and animals. Over the years, Mirzapour has contributed significantly to understanding soil-transmitted helminths, protozoan infections, zoonotic risks, and vector-borne diseases prevalent in Iran and across the globe. His work has been widely referenced, demonstrating growing recognition within the parasitology and public health communities. One of his most influential collaborations includes research on Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara spp., where he co-authored systematic reviews and meta-analyses exploring global and regional prevalence, geo-climatic factors influencing infection, and the potential association of parasitic exposure with neurological disorders such as schizophrenia. These studies have provided valuable insights into risk factors, transmission dynamics, and the public health burden of toxoplasmosis and toxocariasis, helping policymakers prioritize preventive strategies. Mirzapour has also contributed to investigations on soil contamination in public areas, documenting the presence of Toxocara eggs and Toxoplasma oocysts, which represent critical sources of human infection. His work in this area has strengthened awareness about environmental hygiene and zoonotic disease management. In addition to epidemiological research, Mirzapour has conducted laboratory-based and molecular studies focused on Leishmania species, Echinococcus granulosus, nontuberculous mycobacteria, and helminths. Notably, he has published reports on cutaneously infected patients with mixed Leishmania species, explored intra-species diversity using ITS1-rDNA analysis, and participated in designing multi-epitope recombinant antigens aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy for cystic echinococcosis. His work on immunomodulation, particularly studies involving naltrexone and naloxone as vaccine adjuvants against Fasciola hepatica, reflects his interest in advancing vaccine formulations and host-immune response research. Mirzapour’s contributions further include parasitological surveys in wildlife and zoo animals, identification of rare parasites such as Bivitellobilharzia nairi in elephants, and diagnostic studies using high-performance liquid chromatography for Mycobacterium species differentiation. His broad expertise, spanning field sampling, molecular techniques, immunology, and evidence synthesis, highlights his dedication to improving parasitic disease control and public health outcomes. Through consistent publication and collaboration, Aliyar Mirzapour has established himself as a valuable researcher in contemporary parasitology.
