Dr. Hendry Ramly | Clinical Neuroscience | Research Excellence Award

Fiona Stanley | Australia

Dr. Hendry Ramly is a clinician–researcher with advanced training in general medicine, cardiology, and intensive care medicine, and a focused academic interest in non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and post-resuscitation care. His research is directly informed by frontline clinical practice across acute medicine, ICU, and cardiology, where he manages critically ill patients following cardiac arrest. Dr. Ramly’s primary research examines cardiovascular management strategies after return of spontaneous circulation, with particular emphasis on haemodynamic stabilisation, coronary pathology, and the timing and utility of urgent coronary angiography. Neurological outcomes are included as standard clinical endpoints, while the central focus remains on cardiovascular determinants of survival and in-hospital mortality. He is lead author of a retrospective observational cohort study published in Heart, Lung and Circulation (2025), evaluating outcomes of non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest at a tertiary centre. His additional audit work includes thoracic surgical outcomes, geriatric referral pathways, and procedural adequacy in respiratory medicine. Through clinically driven research and multidisciplinary collaboration, Dr. Ramly aims to refine evidence-based pathways that improve survival, decision-making, and quality of care for patients following cardiac arrest.

Anant Bahadur Patel | Neurometabolism | Research Excellence Award

Published on by Neuroscientists

Prof. Dr. Anant Bahadur Patel | Neurometabolism | Research Excellence Award

CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology | India

Dr. Anant Bahadur Patel is a leading neuroscientist specializing in brain energy metabolism and neurotransmitter energetics using advanced in vivo and ex vivo ^13C NMR spectroscopy. His research focuses on understanding how excitatory (glutamatergic) and inhibitory (GABAergic) neuronal activity, together with astroglial metabolism, support brain function in health and disease. By combining stable ^13C-labeled substrates (glucose and acetate) with metabolic modeling, his work quantitatively measures neuronal and astrocytic metabolic fluxes across different brain regions. Dr. Patel has made seminal contributions by demonstrating the tight stoichiometric coupling between neurotransmitter cycling and oxidative glucose metabolism, challenging the astrocyte–neuron lactate shuttle hypothesis and establishing neuronal glucose oxidation as a primary energy source. His laboratory pioneered regional neurometabolic mapping in the mouse brain and clarified astrocytic contributions to cerebral energetics. A major thrust of his research addresses neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, depression, and addiction. He has identified early impairments in glutamate and GABA energetics as potential biomarkers for preclinical diagnosis and shown that neurometabolic deficits can be restored through pharmacological, dietary, and behavioral interventions. Overall, his work has significantly advanced quantitative neurometabolism and its translational relevance to brain disorders.
