Five young Pakistani scientists are representing the country at the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (Chemistry), currently taking place in Lindau, Germany, from June 29 to July 4.
The event brings together 30 to 40 Nobel laureates and over 600 emerging researchers from around 60 countries, creating a unique platform for scientific exchange and global networking.
According to a press release, the Pakistani scholars are participating in discussions and knowledge-sharing sessions with some of the world’s most distinguished scientific minds.
For the past 22 years, the Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS), operating under the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission and in collaboration with the Higher Education Commission (HEC), has played a leading role in identifying and selecting top talent for the Lindau Meetings.
The five scholars selected to represent Pakistan this year are:
- Bisma Khanam – Government College University, Lahore
- Mah Jabeen Hassan – H.E.J. Research Institute of Chemistry, Karachi
- Dr. Bibi Amna – Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad
- Dr. Tabassum Malik – University of Peshawar
- Palwasha Khan – COMSATS University, Lahore Campus
Their selection highlights the growing presence of Pakistani researchers on the global scientific stage and underscores the country’s ongoing commitment to advancing excellence in science and research.

There is no male scientist in the filed of Chemistry in Pakistan? Gender equality or Gender Inequality?
Hahaha. Seems to be
Very good.
Not a single male from Pakistan?
Wonderful
However we need collaboration between research and industry.
Any significant product in the market from this elete group, please.
?
There have been efforts in past for Academia Insdustry like linkages. But so far nothing substantial, which is quiteunfortunate
Mashallah
Good
Excellent all attendees r women.
Why not a single male?
Search their name and you will find nothing significant about their research area, in fact, you won’t even find their research profile anywhere.
It depends on the selectors whether they select a male or female. And you know who is doing the selection in Pakistan.
Well, this biased selection shows the ill mentality of our education department. This is the occasion when world’s leading countries look for a chance to meet world’s top ranking scientists and convince them to visit their countries and enlighten their youth about science and research. But our education department just take it as an entertaining trip.
The troupe should have comprised with all genders.
Ma sha Allah Alhamdolilah Proud of Pakistan Thanks Allah
I know great male researchers but they always complain they never get a chance… One of my teachers is constantly getting 1st position in MS, M. Phil…. He’s always in lab but didn’t even get a gov. job…. Why? He is always no.1 in merit list but somehow in final interview he fails lol
A proud moment for Pakistan
Manzoor e nazar
Very sad. Merit always on the back seat
Gender discrimination!
This is an encouraging development, and our good wishes go to the Pakistani participants for their contribution to this important event. But these comments here also raise some legitimate questions which need answering in a hopefully continuing phase of this dialogue. First, how are the supposedly outstanding scientists selected for such events? Secondly, what are the extra-ordinary qualifications and achievements of the five Pakistani scientists who are attending this event? And third, what tax and/or other incentives, if any, are the Federal and Provincial Governments offering to the industrial entrepreneurs to engage with scientific institutions in developing and designing new lines of production?
