Azerbaijani Researcher Shines at Milan Conference on Longevity

Azerbaijan’s contributions to the field of biochemistry were prominently showcased at the recent 2nd Conference on Biochemistry, Biotechnology, and Stem Cells held in Milan, Italy. Gular Zeynalova, a doctoral candidate at the Abdulla Karayev Institute of Physiology and an instructor at Baku Basic Medical College No. 2, delivered a compelling presentation that attracted significant interest from international attendees.

The conference brought together esteemed scientists and researchers from across the globe, including representatives from the USA, UK, Australia, Denmark, Korea, Japan, Brazil, Finland, and Argentina. Zeynalova’s presentation, titled “Age dynamics of biochemical indicators during physiological ageing in centenarians living in the Goychay region of Azerbaijan,” was met with high praise and initiated a lively discussion among attendees.

The relevance of Zeynalova’s research resonated with experts, leading to numerous inquiries and expressions of gratitude from notable professors present at the conference. Her work delves into critical scientific issues, such as the biochemical factors contributing to extended human life, lipid peroxidation, and the effects of free radicals associated with premature ageing. In recognition of her contributions, Zeynalova received a special certificate for her scientific work.

Zeynalova emphasized the growing importance of biochemistry in contemporary medicine and healthcare. “This field of science plays a crucial role in identifying disease causes and treatment methods,” she stated. The discussions at the conference highlighted the significance of ongoing research and innovation in understanding the complexities of ageing.

With a strong academic background, Zeynalova graduated from the Faculty of Biology at Baku State University with a degree in Biochemistry, followed by a Master’s degree from the Institute of Biology and Medicine at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Currently enrolled in a doctoral program at the Azerbaijan Ministry of Science and Education, she has also completed advanced training courses at the Department of Biochemistry at a local medical university.

Zeynalova’s academic journey is marked by active engagement in the scientific community, having presented at numerous local and international conferences. She is also the author of several scientific articles and the book “Modern Medical Laboratory Diagnostics.”

The enthusiasm surrounding her research at the Milan conference underscores the collaborative spirit of the global scientific community and the importance of sharing knowledge across borders. As researchers like Gular Zeynalova continue to explore the intricate relationship between biochemistry and longevity, the potential for breakthroughs that could enhance human health and lifespan remains promising.
