Ms. Shiva Vaheb Hosseinabadi | Genetics and Bioinformatics | Young Scientist Award

Zist Fanavari Novin biotechnology Institute | Iran

Dr. Shiva Vaheb Hosseinabadi is a molecular and cellular biologist and researcher currently serving as a molecular-techniques instructor and research supervisor at Zist Fanavari Novin Biotechnology Institute (since 2024). She earned her M.Sc. in Cellular and Molecular Sciences from Razi University (2019) and a B.Sc. in Molecular and Cellular Biology-Genetics from Islamic Azad University of Falavarjan. Her research and technical expertise span gene expression analysis, neurogenetics, cancer genomics, mutation analysis, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and bioinformatics. She has contributed to over a dozen peer-reviewed research articles — including studies on microRNA regulation in Parkinson’s disease models, co-frameshift mutations in acute myeloid leukemia, neurotoxicity attenuation via miR-361-5p, and exploration of lncRNA–miRNA networks in various cancers — with total publications exceeding 15 and cumulative citations in the low hundreds [exact citation count varies by database]. Dr. Hosseinabadi is proficient in molecular lab techniques (PCR/qPCR, cell culture, NGS), data analysis (R, Python, SPSS), and bioinformatics workflows. Her dual role as scientist and educator allows her to translate cutting-edge genetic research into practical training and application, contributing to advances in personalized medicine, neurogenetics, cancer biomarker discovery, and genomic diagnostics. Her ongoing work, including a 2025 book on cancer diagnostics and drug-resistance, underscores her commitment to bridging research and clinical translation.
