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.

Shameem Habeeba | Veterinary | Women Researcher Award

Dr. Shameem Habeeba | Veterinary | Women Researcher Award

Microbiology Specialist | AbuDhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority | United Arab Emirates

Dr. Shameem Habeeba is a Veterinary Parasitologist specializing in veterinary parasitology with a strong focus on parasitic and vector-borne diseases affecting livestock and companion animals. Her research centers on molecular and conventional diagnostics of parasitic infections, anthelmintic and acaricide resistance, tick-borne hemoparasites, and emerging zoonotic pathogens, with increasing emphasis on One Health surveillance and transboundary animal diseases. She has held key academic and research roles in veterinary parasitology and has actively contributed to collaborative research programs across India and the Middle East, particularly in camel, goat, and small ruminant health. Dr. Habeeba’s major contributions include molecular identification of Theileria and other hemoparasites, resistance profiling of ticks and parasites, and evidence-based insights supporting improved parasite control strategies. Her impact vision is to strengthen disease surveillance, enhance sustainable parasite management, and support animal and public health systems through translational research and international collaboration.
