Azerbaijani Researcher’s Longevity Study Gains Global Attention

At the recent 2nd Conference on Biochemistry, Biotechnology, and Stem Cells held in Milan, Italy, Azerbaijani researcher Gular Zeynalova captivated an international audience with her presentation on longevity. Zeynalova, a doctoral candidate at the Abdulla Karayev Institute of Physiology and an instructor at Baku Basic Medical College No. 2, discussed her findings on biochemical indicators related to aging in centenarians from the Goychay region of Azerbaijan.

The conference attracted esteemed scientists and representatives from various prestigious institutions across the globe, including countries such as the USA, UK, Australia, Denmark, Korea, Japan, Brazil, Finland, and Argentina. Zeynalova’s talk, titled “Age Dynamics of Biochemical Indicators During Physiological Ageing in Centenarians Living in the Goychay Region of Azerbaijan,” received high praise, highlighting the relevance of her research in understanding the aging process.

During her presentation, attendees noted the significance of her findings, particularly regarding biochemical factors that may extend human life. Zeynalova elaborated on topics such as lipid peroxidation and the effects of free radicals, which are known to contribute to premature aging. The enthusiasm for her research was palpable, as several professors expressed gratitude for her contributions and engaged her with numerous questions following her talk.

In recognition of her impactful work, Zeynalova was awarded a special certificate at the conference. She expressed the vital role biochemistry plays in modern medicine, stating, “In today’s world, the importance of biochemistry is extremely great. This field of science plays a crucial role in the development of medicine and healthcare, in identifying the causes of diseases and methods of their treatment.”

Gular Zeynalova’s academic background further underscores her expertise in the field. She graduated from the Faculty of Biology at Baku State University, earning a degree in Biochemistry, and subsequently obtained a Master’s degree in Biochemistry from the Institute of Biology and Medicine at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Currently, she is pursuing her doctoral studies at the Institute of Physiology under the Azerbaijan Ministry of Science and Education, along with advanced training courses at the Department of Biochemistry at the Medical University.

Zeynalova’s contributions to science extend beyond this conference. She has presented at numerous local and international scientific gatherings and is the author of several scientific articles, including her book “Modern Medical Laboratory Diagnostics.”

The interest generated by Zeynalova’s research highlights the growing global focus on longevity and the biochemical processes that influence aging. As the world grapples with an aging population, studies like hers are crucial in paving the way for future advancements in healthcare and longevity research.
