Dr. Magdalena Bîrsan | Pharmaceutical Science | Women Researcher Award
Grigore T. Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Iași | Romania
Dr. Magdalena Bîrsan is an accomplished pharmaceutical scientist and emerging leader in cosmeceutical innovation, drug delivery systems, and biopharmaceutical technology, with a research focus spanning advanced cosmetic formulations, skin anti-aging mechanisms, pharmaceutical excipients, and sensory-performance evaluation of topical products. Her scientific work integrates formulation science with analytical characterization, emphasizing the development of moisturizing, anti-aging, and skin-tolerability-optimized cosmeceuticals, as well as semi-solid systems, hydrogels, bigels, and orodispersible dosage forms. She has significantly contributed to understanding the relationships between formulation methods, biopolymer properties, sensory profiles, and product stability, offering new insights into patient-centered pharmaceutical technologies. Through international collaborations, her research explores the clinical relevance of innovative cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, including peptides for skin senescence, hyaluronic-acid-based interventions, cannabidiol formulations, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a key excipient in drug delivery. Her work is widely disseminated through high-impact journals, covering multidisciplinary areas such as biomolecules, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, healthcare quality, and dermopharmacy. Magdalena Bîrsan has an expanding scholarly footprint, with publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, contributing to a growing citation record. Her Google Scholar and Scopus profiles reflect an increasing number of citations, h-index growth, and interdisciplinary contributions, supported by extensive published documents in peer-reviewed journals, collaborative scientific reports, and international conference presentations. She stands out as a dedicated woman researcher whose scientific achievements align strongly with the mission of the Women Researcher Award, advancing pharmaceutical sciences through innovation, quality, and translational impact.
