Hassan Ishag | Emerging Animal Diseases | Excellence in Research Award

Assist. Prof. Dr. Hassan Ishag | Emerging animal diseases | Excellence in Research Award

Microbiology Expert | Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority | United Arab Emirates

Dr. Hassan Ali is a researcher specializing in microbiology, molecular biology, and veterinary virology, with strong expertise in transboundary and emerging animal diseases. His research focuses on molecular epidemiology of viral and bacterial pathogens, zoonotic disease surveillance using a One Health approach, genomic characterization of animal pathogens, and the development of molecular diagnostics and vaccine evaluation strategies. He currently serves as a senior researcher at the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority, where he leads pathogen surveillance and molecular investigations, and previously held research and fellowship positions at BecA-ILRI Hub (Kenya), Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences (China), and academic roles in veterinary sciences. His key contributions include the molecular detection and characterization of MERS-CoV, Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, foot-and-mouth disease viruses, and antimicrobial resistance in livestock, supporting evidence-based disease control policies. His impact vision is to strengthen global animal and public health through integrated surveillance, genomics-driven diagnostics, and science-to-policy translation for sustainable livestock systems.

Guillermo Pratta | Crop Science | AgriInnovator in Academia Award

Dr. Guillermo Pratta | Crop Science | AgriInnovator in Academia Award

Investigador Principal | CONICET | Argentina

Guillermo Pratta is a researcher specializing in plant genetics, crop improvement, and quantitative genetics, with a strong focus on horticultural and agroecological systems. His research addresses genetic variability, gene expression regulation, and the identification of quantitative trait loci associated with fruit quality, stress tolerance, and disease resistance, alongside emerging work on agroecological aptitude and genetic resource conservation. He serves as a faculty member at the National University of Rosario and is affiliated with CONICET, contributing to both academic research and applied breeding programs. Dr. Pratta’s key contributions include advances in tomato genomics, multivariate genetic analysis, identification of resistance genes, and the development of genetic resources for sustainable crop production. His work integrates molecular, statistical, and breeding approaches to enhance crop performance and resilience. Through translational research and international publications, he aims to support sustainable agriculture, strengthen food systems, and foster innovation in plant breeding and genetic resource management.
