Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hong Chen | Reproductive Endocrinology | Best Researcher Award 

Northwest A&F University | China

Dr. Hong Chen, an Associate Professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Northwest A&F University, has made significant contributions to the field of reproductive biology and endocrinology. She earned her Doctor of Agronomy in Basic Veterinary Medicine from Nanjing Agricultural University (2014–2019) and has since been actively engaged in both teaching and research. Her primary research interests encompass animal reproductive endocrinology, autophagy, and cell death, with a special focus on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing testosterone synthesis in livestock. Over the years, Dr. Chen has successfully completed or is currently involved in five research projects, including three consultancy or industry-sponsored projects, reflecting her strong collaboration with both academic and applied veterinary sectors. She has published twelve peer-reviewed journal articles in reputed SCI and Scopus-indexed journals, contributing to the advancement of reproductive biology and veterinary science. Her publications have received increasing recognition, with a citation index resulting in an h-index of 16 on ResearchGate, demonstrating the impact and influence of her work within the scientific community. Although she has not yet published books or patents, her research outcomes have enriched the understanding of cellular dynamics in endocrine regulation. One of her notable contributions revealed that Leydig cells in dairy goats exhibit distinct morphological characteristics across developmental stages, influencing testosterone synthesis. Her team further discovered that autophagy and organelle interactions—particularly between lipid droplets and mitochondria—play essential roles in regulating testosterone production. This pioneering work was featured in her representative publication titled “Lipid droplets-mitochondria interaction involved in testosterone synthesis in Leydig cells of dairy goats (Capra hircus)”, which exemplifies her dedication to elucidating the cellular processes underlying reproductive physiology. A committed member of the Animal Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology Section of the Chinese Association of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine (CAAV), Dr. Hong Chen continues to advance research that bridges molecular mechanisms with applied veterinary science, contributing to improved reproductive health and productivity in animal systems.
