ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (MNTV) — Fifty-eight Pakistani scientists have been ranked among the world’s top two percent most influential researchers, according to the latest Global Citation Impact Rankings.
The rankings, based on international publication and citation data, highlight Pakistan’s growing role in global research, particularly in health and medical sciences.
Most of the recognized scientists specialize in public health, clinical medicine, nutrition, endocrinology, psychiatry, infectious diseases, microbiology, and health policy.

Aga Khan University secured the highest number of scientists from any Pakistani institution, with nearly 20 researchers included.
AKU’s faculty has long been recognized for work in pediatrics, nutrition, infectious diseases, epidemiology, and clinical medicine, supported by international collaborations.
Other Pakistani scientists featured include J. Kumar Das, Sajid Bashir Soofi, Zafar Ahmed Fatmi, Imran Rashid Ahmed, Faiza Jahan, Waris Qidwai, Romina Iqbal, Farah Naz Qamar, Muhammad Imran Nisar, Samin Siddiqui, Qurratulain Qidwai, Tazeen Saeed Ali, and Saleema R. Walani.
