Bioanalysis Zone announces winner of Rising Star Award 2025


Bioanalysis Zone, the knowledge hub for the bioanalytical industry, has named Abhishek Jain (Yale University; CT, USA) the 2025 winner of the Bioanalysis Rising Star Award (BRSA; formerly the New Investigator Award). 

The BRSA is an annual award that recognizes and promotes the work of talented early-career scientists, offering researchers a springboard to help establish themselves in the exciting world of bioanalysis.  

This year’s winner, Abhishek Jain, was nominated by Caroline Johnson (Yale School of Public Health; CT, USA) who commented:

“Dr Abhishek Jain is an exceptional bioanalyst whose contributions have transformed cancer metabolomics and microbiome research. His innovative approaches have propelled scientific discovery and empowered the global research community with transformative tools and open data resources.

Dr Jain spearheaded the development of a large-scale metabolomics dataset from over 5,000 samples, including colorectal cancer tumors and gut microbial cultures, uncovering critical molecular differences between right- and left-sided liver metastases. His multi-omics approach offered invaluable insights for personalized medicine, bridging fundamental science with clinical relevance. His work has been recognized at major conferences within the clinical and metabolomics communities. 

As the winner of the BRSA, Abhishek will present his work on a Bioanalysis Zone webinar in December 2025. He also receives a 1-year subscription to Bioanalysis, a contribution towards travel costs to attend a conference, complementary free access publication of his next accepted paper, and an exclusive interview with Bioanalysis Zone.

Abhishek won the public vote after three finalists were shortlisted by the judges. The other finalists were Amanda Smythers (Harvard Medical School; MA, USA) and Alejandro Rodriguez (Genentech; CA, USA).
