Introduction

Public Health research encompasses the study of population health, disease prevention, health determinants, health systems, and interventions intended to improve health outcomes. Researchers working in this field commonly contribute through original studies, reviews, collaborative investigations, and dissemination of findings through scholarly publications. Mohamed Shaheen is identified in the supplied researcher profile as being affiliated with the National Research Centre in Egypt and working within Public Health. [3][1][2]

Research Profile

The available profile identifies Mohamed Shaheen with the National Research Centre in Egypt and lists Public Health as the principal subject area. The reported scholarly indicators comprise 88 documents, 1,591 citations, and an h-index of 22. These figures describe the bibliometric information supplied for the profile and should be understood as measurements that can change over time as databases index additional publications and citations. [1] [2]

Research Contributions

A publication portfolio of 88 documents indicates sustained scholarly output within the profile supplied for Mohamed Shaheen. In a Public Health context, research contributions may encompass empirical studies, evidence synthesis, methodological work, and collaborative research addressing health-related questions. Specific research themes should be interpreted from individual publications and their bibliographic records rather than inferred solely from aggregate publication or citation counts. [1]

Publications

The supplied Google Scholar profile reports 88 documents associated with Mohamed Shaheen. Google Scholar is commonly used to discover scholarly publications and citation relationships, although its coverage and indexing practices differ from those of curated bibliographic databases. Consequently, the document count should be treated as a profile-specific indicator rather than as a universal publication total across every scholarly database. [1]

Research Impact

The supplied profile records 1,591 citations and an h-index of 22. Citation counts provide quantitative information about how frequently indexed scholarly works have been cited, while the h-index combines publication and citation dimensions into a single bibliometric measure. These indicators can assist with describing research visibility but do not independently measure methodological quality, practical impact, or broader societal influence. [1]

Award Suitability

The Global Scientist Day Awards is the event identified for this academic recognition profile. The supplied researcher information establishes a connection between Mohamed Shaheen, Public Health, the National Research Centre, and the award event. The documented publication count and citation indicators provide quantitative background that may be considered alongside the award programme’s applicable nomination and evaluation criteria. [4]

Conclusion

Mohamed Shaheen is presented in the supplied academic profile as a Public Health researcher affiliated with the National Research Centre in Egypt. The profile records 88 documents, 1,591 citations, and an h-index of 22, together with Google Scholar and ORCID identifiers. These data provide a concise bibliometric and institutional overview while allowing independent examination of the underlying scholarly record. [1] [2][4]

Dr. Jenny Gentizon,  University of Lausanne (UNIL), Switzerland

Dr. Jenny Gentizon is a senior lecturer and head of the Nurse Practitioner Master’s program at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) in Switzerland. She holds a PhD in Nursing Sciences and specializes in advanced practice nursing, gerontology, and medication literacy. Her research focuses on improving medication management in older adults and developing tools to support pharmaceutical care. She is actively involved in European nursing science networks and leads educational and clinical initiatives aimed at strengthening the role of advanced practice nurses in the healthcare system.

🎓 Early Academic Pursuits

Dr. Jenny Gentizon’s journey into nursing science began with a profound interest in patient care and the healthcare system’s evolving complexity. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing Sciences (2003–2007) from the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO), Haute École La Source, where her outstanding academic commitment earned her a prize for best dissertation. This early recognition reflected her ability to merge critical thinking with clinical realities—a skill that would define her career. Her academic path continued with a Master of Science in Nursing Sciences (2011–2014), a joint program between UNIL and HES-SO. This phase cemented her interest in evidence-based practice, and her thesis explored the beliefs and attitudes of nurses regarding evidence-based implementation, laying the groundwork for future research. Her pursuit of advanced expertise culminated in a PhD in Nursing Sciences (2017–2022) from the Institute of Higher Education and Research in Healthcare (IUFRS), UNIL/CHUV, where she developed the MED-fLAG—a novel tool to assess medication literacy in older adults. This doctoral work would become a cornerstone of her academic identity.

💼 Professional Endeavors

Dr. Gentizon’s professional path has seamlessly integrated clinical expertise with educational leadership. For over a decade, she served as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in geriatric and internal medicine at CHUV, contributing to quality care, coaching, and the supervision of advanced practice nurses. Since 2022, she has held the role of Lecturer and Nurse Researcher at UNIL/CHUV, rising to the position of MER1 sup. (100%) in 2025. As Head of the Nurse Practitioner (NP) Master’s Program, she leads curriculum development, course coordination, and student supervision across several advanced nursing programs. Her teaching portfolio includes subjects such as clinical reasoning, physical examination, and integration of clinical knowledge into practice, demonstrating her holistic approach to nurse education.

🔬 Contributions and Research Focus

Dr. Gentizon’s research bridges the gap between medication safety and gerontological care, focusing on patient empowerment, self-management, and pharmaceutical care. Her PhD work on MED-fLAG led to several peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations, establishing her as a reference in medication literacy among older adults. She has also contributed to studies on fall-risk–increasing drugs (FRIDs), self-efficacy in medication adherence, and the implementation of standardized medication plans in hospital settings. Her projects often take a quasi-experimental or mixed-methods approach, reflecting a rigorous and innovative scientific method. Dr. Gentizon has secured multiple research grants, including funding from the Nursing Science Foundation Switzerland and Fondation CHUV, supporting her interdisciplinary projects on therapeutic education for chronic conditions like psoriasis. Her work consistently emphasizes the role of nurse-led interventions and contributes to reshaping clinical practice through research.
