Abstract
The Innovative Research Award profile for Bin Zhao presents a scholarly recognition framework based on research activity in neddylation and related areas of cellular regulation. Zhao is affiliated with Lanzhou University Second Hospital in China. The available Scopus-indexed profile records 21 documents, 93 citations, and an h-index of 5. [1] Neddylation is a post-translational modification system involving the covalent attachment of NEDD8 to target proteins and is recognized as an important regulatory mechanism in cellular physiology and disease-related processes. [2] This article provides a neutral overview of the research profile, subject area, scholarly contribution, publication context, and suitability of the profile for an innovation-oriented research award.

Introduction
Neddylation is a biochemical process in which the ubiquitin-like modifier NEDD8 is conjugated to selected cellular proteins. The pathway has been studied as an important mechanism regulating protein function, stability, localization, and signaling. It is closely associated with the activity of cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases, which participate in the regulated turnover of numerous intracellular proteins. [2] [3]
Against this scientific background, the profile of Bin Zhao is presented in the context of an Innovative Research Award. The assessment described here is based on the supplied institutional affiliation, research subject, and bibliometric information rather than an independent evaluation of unpublished research materials.
Research Profile
Bin Zhao is affiliated with Lanzhou University Second Hospital in China. The supplied scholarly profile identifies neddylation as the principal subject area and associates the researcher with Scopus Author ID 59606067800. The indexed record supplied for this profile contains 21 documents, 93 citations, and an h-index of 5. [1]
Research Contributions
The supplied subject area of neddylation places Zhao’s profile within a research field concerned with cellular protein regulation. Neddylation modifies target proteins through a pathway involving NEDD8 activation, conjugation, and ligation. This regulatory system has been investigated in relation to cullin activity, ubiquitin-mediated protein turnover, cell-cycle control, stress responses, and disease mechanisms. [2] [3].
Publications
The supplied Scopus profile records 21 indexed documents for Bin Zhao. [1] Because individual publication titles, journal information, publication years, and DOI identifiers were not supplied in the source data for this profile, this section does not attribute specific publications or DOI records to the researcher without verification.
Research Impact
The available bibliometric indicators provide a limited quantitative view of scholarly visibility. The reported 93 citations across 21 documents and an h-index of 5 indicate that the indexed publication record has received citations within the scholarly literature. [4] Bibliometric indicators, however, should be interpreted in relation to publication age, field-specific citation practices, collaboration patterns, and the characteristics of the underlying research outputs.
Award Suitability
The profile is relevant to an Innovative Research Award because the supplied research specialization is centered on neddylation, a mechanistically important area of cellular regulation. The combination of a defined research subject, an indexed publication record, and measurable citation activity provides a documented basis for presenting the researcher within an academic recognition context. [4]
Conclusion
Bin Zhao, affiliated with Lanzhou University Second Hospital in China, is presented in this academic recognition profile as a researcher working in the field of neddylation. The supplied Scopus information records 21 documents, 93 citations, and an h-index of 5. [1] Neddylation represents an established area of molecular and cellular research with relevance to protein regulation and disease biology. [2]
