Celebrating Innovation: Pakistan’s Triumph at the Asian Science Camp 2025
In a remarkable showcase of talent and creativity, Pakistani students have made headlines by securing two gold medals and one silver at the Asian Science Camp 2025, held in Thailand. This event has marked Pakistan’s most significant achievement in an international science competition to date. With participants from over 50 countries, the camp provided a platform for young minds to present their innovative projects, evaluated by esteemed international experts, including Nobel laureates.
Leading the charge was Ali Afzal Muhammad from Khyber Medical College in Peshawar, who won gold in the ‘Innovation and Technology’ category with his groundbreaking invention—the Sleep Pod. This revolutionary device simulates a 10-hour sleep cycle within just two hours, hinting at potential breakthroughs in healthcare and productivity that could change lives.
Not to be outdone, Malik Shahabuddin Syed from Bolan Medical College also clinched a gold medal in the ‘Sustainability’ category. His project featured three innovative solutions aimed at protecting marine ecosystems, blending creativity with scientific rigor that impressed judges and peers alike.
In addition, Hasher Ishaq from NUST took home a silver medal for designing a conceptual microchip that, once introduced to the human body, could trigger an immune response against viruses. This futuristic medical innovation has opened up new avenues for treating infections and viruses, sparking excitement among health professionals.
An honorary mention also went to Ahmed Fasih from Shalamar Medical College, Lahore, acknowledging the depth of talent within Pakistan’s delegation. With a competitive selection process involving written tests and interviews, this eight-member team was orchestrated by Rehana Batool of the Pakistan Science Foundation, which played a crucial role in facilitating their participation.
The Asian Science Camp isn’t just a competition; it’s a melting pot of ideas, fostering cross-border collaboration and igniting the spirit of scientific inquiry among young enthusiasts. Throughout the camp, participants enjoyed workshops, networking sessions, and lectures from global leading scientists, enriching their knowledge and broadening their perspectives.
“This is a proud moment for Pakistan,” remarked an official from the Pakistan Science Foundation. “Our youth have demonstrated that they can compete with the brightest minds in Asia.”
