Seung Min Shin is a researcher affiliated with the Medical College of Wisconsin in the United States, with a reported research focus in neuroscience. The supplied Scopus profile records 24 documents, 617 citations, and an h-index of 14. These bibliometric indicators provide a quantitative snapshot of publication activity and citation influence, although they do not independently establish research quality or the significance of individual contributions. This article presents the available profile information in the context of the Research Excellence Award associated with the International Invention Awards. Detailed publication titles, specific research findings, and award-selection documentation should be verified against authoritative records before further claims are made.[1]

Abstract

This article summarizes the reported academic profile of Seung Min Shin, affiliated with the Medical College of Wisconsin in the United States, in the subject area of neuroscience. The supplied Scopus author record identifies 24 documents, 617 citations, and an h-index of 14. These indicators describe aspects of scholarly output and citation activity but should be interpreted alongside publication quality, research methods, originality, and contributions to the field. The profile is presented in relation to the Research Excellence Award associated with the International Invention Awards. Independent verification of the researcher’s publications, research findings, and award status remains necessary for a comprehensive assessment of scholarly achievement.[1]

Introduction

Seung Min Shin’s supplied profile associates the researcher with the Medical College of Wisconsin and reports measurable publication and citation activity. The available information provides a starting point for a structured academic overview, but it does not establish the precise scope of the researcher’s neuroscience specialization or the details of particular discoveries. Such conclusions require examination of verified publications and institutional information.[1]

Research Profile

The supplied author information identifies Seung Min Shin by Scopus Author ID 55220966700 and lists the Medical College of Wisconsin as the institutional affiliation. The stated subject area is neuroscience, and the reported bibliometric figures are 24 documents, 617 citations, and an h-index of 14. These figures offer a concise description of the profile at the time the data were supplied. Because database records can change and author profiles may require disambiguation, the current Scopus entry should be consulted when confirming publication counts, affiliations, and citation totals.[1]

Research Contributions

A rigorous account of research contributions should connect individual publications with their research questions, methods, results, and subsequent use by other scholars. In neuroscience, the relevance of a study may depend on the strength of its experimental design, the reproducibility of its findings, the appropriateness of its statistical analysis, and the extent to which its conclusions are supported by evidence. The supplied profile does not identify specific papers or discoveries attributable to Seung Min Shin; therefore, particular innovations or findings cannot be reliably described without further source verification.[2]

Publications

The supplied Scopus record reports 24 documents associated with the author identifier. A complete and accurate publication bibliography requires checking the individual records for titles, author lists, publication years, journal or conference details, and persistent identifiers such as Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). These details are not included in the information provided for this article, so individual publications and DOI records are not listed here.[1]

Research Impact

The reported total of 617 citations indicates that documents associated with the supplied profile have been cited in the scholarly literature. The h-index of 14 indicates, under the conventional definition, that at least 14 documents have each received at least 14 citations, provided that the supplied database values are accurate and the profile is correctly attributed. These indicators can help describe research visibility, but they do not directly measure scientific validity, practical benefit, or the originality of an individual contribution. [2]

Award Suitability

The Research Excellence Award is presented here as the recognition category specified for this article, in connection with the International Invention Awards. The reported publication and citation figures may provide relevant background for an academic assessment, but they are not sufficient on their own to establish eligibility, selection, or receipt of the award. No independent award confirmation, judging statement, or selection criteria were included in the supplied information.[1]

Conclusion

The supplied bibliometric profile of Seung Min Shin identifies an affiliation with the Medical College of Wisconsin, a stated subject area of neuroscience, 24 documents, 617 citations, and an h-index of 14. These details provide a concise overview of the researcher’s reported publication activity and citation record. A comprehensive account of research excellence, however, requires examination of the underlying publications, independently verified scientific contributions, and applicable award criteria. The Scopus author record and official International Invention Awards website are appropriate starting points for further verification.[2]

University of Malaga | Spain

Dr. Dasiel Oscar Borroto Escuela is an internationally recognized neuroscientist whose research has fundamentally advanced the understanding of G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) heteroreceptor complexes and their role in brain function and disease. His work focuses on elucidating how alterations in GPCR heteroreceptor complexes and their allosteric receptor–receptor interactions contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, including major depression, addiction, and Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Borroto Escuela is a pioneer in the discovery and characterization of GPCR–GPCR and GPCR–RTK interactions in the central nervous system, providing compelling molecular evidence that these complexes constitute critical integrative signaling units underlying learning, memory, and brain plasticity. His seminal publications in Biological Psychiatry, Molecular Psychiatry, Neuropsychopharmacology, and Trends in Pharmacological Sciences have reshaped prevailing neurotransmitter hypotheses by introducing receptor heterocomplex dynamics as key determinants of disease vulnerability and therapeutic response. A major contribution of his work is the proposal that changes in the density and allosteric interactions of GPCR heterocomplexes represent a shared molecular mechanism linking psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. He has notably extended the serotonin hypothesis of depression by integrating molecular dynamics within serotonin receptor heterocomplexes, identifying new targets for antidepressant intervention. Dr. Borroto Escuela has also developed and refined cutting-edge methodologies, including the establishment and optimization of in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) techniques, enabling the in-brain visualization of GPCR heteroreceptor complexes—a methodological breakthrough that has become foundational in the field. His characterization of heteromer interface interactions, such as the D2R–A2AR heterodimer, has opened new avenues for drug development using small interfering peptides. Currently, as an EMERGIA Fellow at the University of Málaga, Dr. Borroto Escuela leads the Receptomics & Brain Disease Lab, while simultaneously directing the GPCR Laboratory at Karolinska Institutet. He has secured competitive funding from prestigious Spanish and Swedish agencies and foundations and has produced over 180 peer-reviewed publications, with more than 5,000 citations and an h-index exceeding 40. Beyond research, he is deeply committed to scientific leadership, serving as editor and editorial board member for leading journals, evaluator for international funding agencies, supervisor of over 60 students, and an invited speaker at more than 40 international conferences. His career reflects sustained excellence, innovation, and global impact in neuroscience and neuropsychopharmacology.
