Dr. Fatemeh Jabbari | Cleft |  Research Excellence Award

Karolinska Hospital, Department of Orthodontics Sweden | Sweden

Fatemeh Jabbari is a senior orthodontic specialist and clinician–scientist with extensive expertise in cleft lip and palate care, maxillofacial surgery collaboration, and advanced orthodontic treatment. She holds a dental degree and a master’s qualification in dentistry, with specialist training in orthodontics from leading academic institutions in Sweden and the United States. Her academic background is complemented by advanced studies in oral medicine, orthodontics, oral surgery, bite physiology, research ethics, statistics, and scientific communication. She has held a wide range of clinical and leadership roles within public dental services and major university hospitals, including long-term appointments in orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery, and plastic surgery. Currently, she serves in a senior leadership position at Karolinska University Hospital, where she combines clinical excellence with strategic responsibility. Her scientific work focuses on craniofacial anomalies, particularly alveolar bone reconstruction and long-term outcomes in patients with cleft lip and palate. She has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in international journals and has contributed to global scientific congresses through research reports and poster presentations. Her work has significantly advanced understanding of cleft morphology, treatment timing, and functional and aesthetic outcomes, bridging clinical practice with evidence-based research to improve patient care.

Jonathan Jung | Marine Ecology | Research Excellence Award

Mr. Jonathan Jung | Marine Ecology |  Research Excellence Award

Max-Planck Institute for Chemistry | Germany

Jonathan Jung is a marine biogeochemist whose research explores how human activities reshape coastal and coral reef ecosystems through changes in nutrient cycling. His work centers on nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics, particularly how shifting nutrient regimes influence benthic communities and reef resilience in tropical marine environments. By integrating coral-bound stable isotope analyses with water column and sediment geochemistry, he reconstructs both seasonal variability and long-term trends in marine nutrient cycles. A defining aspect of his research is the comparison of contemporary reef conditions with historical ecological and evolutionary baselines, allowing for deeper insight into how modern disturbances diverge from natural variability. He has extensive experience leading and participating in open-ocean geochemical surveys and coral coring expeditions across the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, managing field logistics, permitting, and advanced sampling protocols. His research also extends into deep-time perspectives, examining the evolution of coral photosymbiosis to understand adaptive strategies that have enabled reef organisms to persist through past environmental change. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, rigorous fieldwork, and quantitative data analysis, his work aims to inform science-based conservation strategies and policy responses for vulnerable coastal ecosystems.
