Assoc. Soha A. Hassan is a researcher affiliated with Suez University, Egypt, whose documented research activity includes circadian biology, chronobiology, animal behavioral physiology and chronotherapy. Her ORCID record identifies Suez University as an employment affiliation and lists research works addressing circadian mechanisms, locomotor activity, neurobiology and time-dependent biological responses.[1]
Abstract
Assoc. Soha A. Hassan’s documented scholarly profile is centered on biological timing and circadian regulation. Her recorded works examine circadian clock mechanisms, behavioral rhythms, neurobiological responses and time-dependent effects in experimental models. The ORCID record identifies keywords including chronotherapy, animal behavioral physiology and chronobiology, providing a clear thematic basis for her research profile.[1]
Keywords
Circadian Biology, Chronobiology, Chronotherapy, Animal Behavioral Physiology, Circadian Clock, Locomotor Activity, Neurobiology, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Biological Rhythms, Experimental Physiology.
Introduction
Circadian biology investigates approximately 24-hour biological rhythms and their regulation across physiological systems. Hassan’s publication record reflects an interdisciplinary approach in which circadian mechanisms are considered alongside behavioral physiology, neurobiology and disease-related experimental models. Her recorded research includes investigations of clock genes, hypothalamic signaling, locomotor behavior and time-dependent responses to treatment.[2]
Research Profile
The ORCID record associates Hassan with Suez University and records employment beginning in 2010. Her listed research keywords emphasize chronotherapy, animal behavioral physiology and chronobiology. The publication record includes studies published in Scientific Reports, Clocks & Sleep, Biomedicines, FASEB Journal, Journal of Pineal Research, International Journal of Cancer and related journals.[1]
Research Contributions
The documented research addresses several connected areas of circadian science. Recent work examined how loss of the liver circadian clock affects components of the intrarenal renin–angiotensin system, while another study investigated deletion of the Per2 clock gene in astrocytes and its relationship with clock period and light-mediated phase shifts.[2][3]
Publications
Selected publications recorded in the ORCID profile include work on the liver circadian clock, Per2 in astrocytes, hepatocellular carcinoma and the suprachiasmatic nucleus, time-dependent radiotherapy effects, and locomotor activity rhythms. The record also includes research on adult neurogenesis, circadian gene expression and melatonin-related biological rhythms.[1]
Research Impact
The supplied researcher profile reports 11 documents, 87 citations and an h-index of 6. These bibliometric values provide a quantitative snapshot of the profile and should be interpreted in relation to database coverage, publication dates and citation practices within the relevant disciplines. The ORCID record independently documents a broader works list and identifies the researcher and her scholarly outputs.[1]
Award Suitability
For an Innovative Research Award, the documented profile provides evidence of sustained research activity in circadian biology and related experimental sciences. The combination of chronobiology, behavioral physiology, molecular clock research and disease-oriented investigations creates a coherent scholarly theme. Award consideration can therefore be based on the documented publications, research scope and independently reported bibliometric information.[1]
Conclusion
Assoc. Soha A. Hassan’s documented academic record reflects research focused on circadian biology, chronobiology and animal behavioral physiology. Her publications address biological clocks, neural mechanisms, locomotor rhythms and time-dependent responses in experimental disease models. Together, these records provide a structured basis for recognition within the research domain represented by the Innovative Research Award.
