Pakistani students made history at the Asian Science Camp 2025, held in Thailand, with an outstanding performance that marked the country's biggest success at this international event to date. The team, led by Syeda Rehana Batool, won two gold medals and one silver, making this the best-ever showing by a Pakistani team in an international scientific competition [1][3][4].
Ahmad Faseeh from Shalamar Medical College Lahore earned an honorary mention in the Innovation and Technology category for his project on a sub-dermal bio-sensor capable of real-time blood monitoring and analysis.
Ali Afzaal Muhammad, a student of Khyber Medical College Peshawar, won a Gold Medal in the Innovation and Technology category for his project titled "Sleep 10 Hours in 2". The futuristic sleep pod designed by Muhammad promises breakthroughs in healthcare and productivity, simulating the effects of a 10-hour sleep cycle within two hours [1].
Malik Shahabuddin Syed from Bolan Medical College, Quetta, won a Gold Medal in the Sustainability category for his project titled "Turn the Tide for Ocean Life". Syed's project proposes three actionable strategies to protect and restore marine ecosystems, demonstrating creativity and scientific depth in environmental science.
Muhammad Hashir Ishaq of NUST secured silver with a conceptual microchip design intended to trigger immune responses inside the human body to neutralize viruses. This innovation indicates important advances in futuristic medical technology [1].
The Asian Science Camp 2025 involved over 50 countries and was evaluated by renowned scientists, including Nobel Laureates, which added international credibility and recognition to Pakistan’s achievements [1][5].
Rehana Batool, Principal Scientific Officer (Science Popularisation) at the Pakistan Science Foundation and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST), expressed immense pride in the team's achievements, describing their performance as "outclass" and a moment of national pride.
This exceptional performance not only highlights Pakistani students’ innovation and scientific talent but also positively impacts science education in Pakistan. It encourages youth participation in STEM fields, promotes practical, innovative solutions to real-world problems, and enhances Pakistan’s visibility in regional and global scientific communities [5].
Based on the Pakistan Science Foundation’s support, the participation and success at Asian Science Camp 2025 underscore increased emphasis on nurturing young scientific minds and integrating advanced research and development into the country’s educational framework [5].
In summary, the Asian Science Camp 2025 was a milestone for Pakistan, reflecting innovation, academic excellence, and the potential to influence science education positively by setting new standards for student achievement on an international platform [1][3][4][5].
