Three young cardiologists from Karachi bag top research grants
ISLAMABAD: In a major achievement for young medical talent, three cardiologists from Karachi's premier healthcare institutions earned top research grants at the Grand Finale of the 'Shark Tank Interventional Cardiology' competition, a highlight of the Pak Live 2025 conference held here on Sunday. The Pak Live 2025 conference, organised by the Pakistan Society of Interventional Cardiology (PSIC), wrapped up here, with hundreds of cardiologists from Pakistan and abroad participating both in person and online. Dr Jamshed Ali of Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) clinched the top award, receiving a Rs. 300,000 grant for his research proposal in the field of interventional cardiology. Meanwhile, D. Mishal Zehra from Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) Karachi and Dr Poonam Bai from the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) Karachi secured the second and third prizes, winning grants of Rs.200,000 and Rs.100,000, respectively. The Shark Tank Interventional Cardiology competition, a collaboration between the PharmEvo Research Forum (PRF) and PSIC, is designed to spark innovation among early-career cardiologists. Modelled after the entrepreneurial 'Shark Tank' format, it challenges young doctors to pitch their research proposals to a panel of senior cardiology experts, aiming to cultivate indigenous research and improve evidence-based care. This year's edition saw an overwhelming response, with 30 research proposals submitted from 17 institutes nationwide. After a competitive evaluation process led by judges from the Pakistan Institute of Interventional Cardiology, 10 proposals made it to the final round. Addressing the award ceremony, Prof. Dr Nauman Naseer, Vice President and Academic Committee Chairman of PSIC, stressed the urgency of advancing research to strengthen patient care in Pakistan. 'PSIC has consistently encouraged research activities to address the scarcity of local data necessary for evidence-based decisions,' he said. 'Our partnership with the PharmEvo Research Forum enables us to support the next generation of researchers through grants and mentorship.' Prof Nauman expressed optimism that the selected research projects would lead to innovations in techniques and treatment outcomes for cardiac patients across Pakistan. Speaking at the event, Abdus Samad, Director of Marketing and Sales at PharmEvo, reaffirmed the company's dedication to nurturing a culture of scientific inquiry and ethical healthcare promotion. 'At PharmEvo, we see ethical promotion not just as marketing but also as contributing to education and research that ultimately benefits patient care.' Pak Live organiser and renowned cardiologist Prof Dr Bashir Hanif also praised the role of the conference in promoting education. 'Through initiatives like Pak Live, we open learning avenues for young doctors nationwide,' he said, adding that live demonstrations of interventional procedures were organized to enhance practical training for future cardiologists.

Karachi board postpones intermediate exams, new date announced
Female students put their learning to the test as they tackle their Secondary School Certificate (Matric) exams at the Government Girls Higher Secondary School-1 Jacob Lines examination centre. PHOTO: JALAL QURESHI/EXPRESS Listen to article The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) announced the postponement of the annual intermediate examinations for 2025, originally scheduled to start on April 28. The exams will now commence from May 5. The decision was made following directives from the board chairman, citing two main reasons for the delay. Firstly, the ongoing process of awarding grace marks in mathematics, chemistry, and physics for the 2024 first-year science pre-medical, pre-engineering, and general science groups is yet to be completed. Secondly, several examination centres are still occupied with matriculation exams that began on April 8 and are set to continue until May 8. Officials said the overlap necessitated adjustments to maintain the exam system's organisation and ensure centre availability. Students, educational institutions, and parents have been advised to continue preparations according to the new schedule. BIEK stated that any further updates or changes would be communicated through its official website ( and its verified social media pages on Facebook and Instagram. Yesterday, Sindh government's Department of Universities and Boards issued an official notification granting grace marks to students appearing in the Intermediate Part-I (Pre-Medical and Pre-Engineering) annual examinations of 2024. The decision includes awarding 15% to 20% grace marks in key science subjects. The notification was issued following the approval of the provincial cabinet during its meeting held on April 15. According to the directive, students will receive 20% grace marks in Chemistry and 15% in both Physics and Mathematics. The Karachi Board of Intermediate Education has been informed of the decision, and implementation instructions have been issued accordingly. The notification, signed by Sharifuddin, Section Officer for Boards in the Department of Universities and Boards, directs the Chairman of the Intermediate Board Karachi to proceed with the necessary arrangements to apply the cabinet's decision. It is important to note that currently, the Karachi Intermediate Board does not have a permanent chairman. The position is temporarily held by the Chairman of the Karachi Matriculation Board.
