Vicky Sophianopoulou is a researcher affiliated with the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos” in Greece. Her listed publications address biological regulation, fungal biology, cellular quiescence and antifungal activity. This academic recognition profile presents the supplied bibliometric indicators and selected research contributions in the context of the Innovative Research Award associated with the Global Innovation Technologist Awards. [1]
Abstract
This profile summarizes the research record attributed to Vicky Sophianopoulou using the supplied Scopus indicators and three selected publications from 2023–2025. The reported record comprises 43 documents, 1,469 citations and an h-index of 20. The selected studies concern antifungal activity against Aspergillus nidulans and cellular membrane processes associated with quiescence. These topics provide a basis for describing the profile’s relevance to biological research and interdisciplinary scientific investigation. [1]
Keywords
Vicky Sophianopoulou; biology and life sciences; fungal biology; antifungal activity; Aspergillus nidulans; polyethyleneimine; cellular quiescence; membrane domains; research impact; scientific innovation.
Introduction
Academic research profiles bring together publication records, citation indicators and subject-specific contributions to provide an overview of scholarly activity. Sophianopoulou’s supplied publication examples reflect investigations into fungal responses and cellular biology. The following account distinguishes reported bibliometric information from interpretations of the research topics and does not imply an independently verified award decision. [2]
Research Profile
The supplied profile identifies the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos” as the institutional affiliation. The reported h-index of 20 indicates a combination of publication output and citation activity under the conventional h-index definition. Citation counts may vary over time and across databases; the figures presented here are supplied values rather than a live bibliometric audit. [3]
Research Contributions
The listed studies explore antifungal approaches and mechanisms associated with cellular survival. Research on functionalized polyethyleneimine derivatives examines their antifungal activity against quiescent conidia and germlings of Aspergillus nidulans. Work on ferroptosis-protective membrane domains in quiescence addresses cellular processes relevant to understanding membrane organization and stress-related biology. [4]
Publications
Three supplied publications illustrate the range of research represented in this profile:
- “The effect of copper on the antifungal activity of polyethyleneimines against quiescent conidia and germlings of Aspergillus nidulans” (2025), Scientific Reports. [4]
- “Antifungal Activity of Functionalized Hyperbranched Polyethyleneimine Derivatives against Quiescent Conidia and Germlings of the Opportunistic Fungal Pathogen Aspergillus nidulans” (2024), Journal of Biological Regulators and Homeostatic Agents. [5]
- “Ferroptosis-protective membrane domains in quiescence” (2023), Cell Reports. [6]
Research Impact
The supplied bibliometric indicators report 1,469 citations across 43 documents. Such metrics offer one quantitative perspective on scholarly reach but do not independently establish research quality, originality or societal benefit. A comprehensive assessment would also consider methodological rigor, reproducibility, authorship contributions and the influence of findings within relevant scientific communities. [3]
Award Suitability
The research themes and supplied citation indicators provide relevant material for consideration under an innovative research recognition category. A formal award evaluation should verify the bibliometric record, assess the candidate’s specific contributions to the listed studies and apply the event’s published eligibility and judging criteria. This profile does not constitute confirmation of nomination, selection or receipt of an award.
Conclusion
Vicky Sophianopoulou’s supplied research profile combines reported scholarly metrics with publications addressing fungal biology and cellular quiescence. Together, these details provide a concise overview for academic recognition and further evaluation. Verification against current researcher records and original publication metadata remains advisable before formal publication or award-related use.
