Dr. Alperen Taş | Cardiology | Best Researcher Award

Ahi Evran University | Turkey

Dr. Alperen Taş is an emerging cardiology researcher whose work centers on acute heart failure, coronary syndromes, inflammatory biomarkers, prognostic scoring systems, and no-reflow phenomena. He focuses on developing and validating clinical biomarkers and risk-prediction models that enhance early diagnosis, guide clinical decisions, and improve mortality prediction in high-risk cardiac patients. His peer-reviewed contributions span key diagnostic tools, including the Scottish Inflammatory Prognostic Score, prognostic nutritional index, QT interval–GRACE score integration, intracoronary ECG, HALP score, Osaka Prognostic Score, and novel biomarkers such as PDGF-BB, chemerin, and derived NLR. His collaborative studies explore infective endocarditis, myocardial infarction, coronary no-reflow, heart failure progression, echocardiographic functional assessment, and medication-related cardiovascular effects. He has shared his findings at national cardiology congresses, advancing scientific dialogue on inflammatory markers and cardiovascular prognostication. With 12 publications, 24 citations, and an h-index of 2, Dr. Alperen Taş demonstrates solid developing research impact, strong collaboration, and a promising trajectory in preventive cardiology and biomarker-based risk stratification.

Prof. Vincenzo Ezio Santobuono | Cardiovascular Disease | Innovative Research Award

University of Bari Aldo Moro | Italy

Prof. Vincenzo Ezio Santobuono is an accomplished cardiologist and academic with a Classical High School Diploma (1999), a Degree in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Bari (2006, summa cum laude), a Specialization in Cardiology (2011, summa cum laude), and a PhD in Experimental and Forensic Medicine and Pathology (2015). He has built a distinguished career combining clinical expertise, academic leadership, and pioneering research in cardiology, particularly in telecardiology, remote monitoring, arrhythmia management, and cardiac resynchronization therapy. Professionally, he has served as Medical Director at the Regional TeleCardiology Center of Bari, specialist consultant for military and governmental institutions, and lecturer at the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” across nursing, medicine, radiology, psychiatric rehabilitation, and cardiovascular disease programs. Currently, he is a fixed-term researcher (RTD-A) leading an innovative project on telecardiology integration within hospital-territory networks. His academic impact is reflected in Scopus metrics with 502 citations, 52 indexed documents, and an h-index of 11, alongside numerous high-impact publications and a patent on supraventricular arrhythmia treatment. Fluent in English and Italian, he actively contributes to cardiovascular innovation, bridging advanced clinical practice with technological solutions to improve patient-centered care and healthcare delivery.
