Mr. Omid Dehghan | Biology | Best Researcher Award
Iranshahr University of Medical Sciences | Iran
Mr. Omid Dehghan is an accomplished researcher in the field of medical entomology and vector-borne diseases, with a particular focus on mosquito ecology, insect-borne infections, and integrated vector control strategies in Iran. His interdisciplinary research spans entomological surveillance, parasitology, and public health applications, contributing significantly to understanding the epidemiology of diseases such as dengue, malaria, leishmaniasis, and pediculosis. His studies explore vector ecology, larval habitat characterization, repellency effects of natural products, and maggot therapy innovations for wound healing. Through his collaborative and translational approach, Dr. Dehghan has advanced evidence-based control programs that align with One Health principles. His publication record demonstrates strong academic influence, with 162 Google Scholar citations (160 since 2020), an h-index of 8, and an i10-index of 6, while Scopus records 89 citations across 83 documents with an h-index of 6. His research excellence reflects not only his scientific rigor but also his commitment to developing locally adapted solutions for global vector-borne challenges. Dr. Dehghan’s scholarly output and innovative contributions to tropical disease research have established him as a leading figure among emerging entomologists in the Middle East, making him a strong candidate for the Best Researcher Award.
