Professor Zulfiqar Bhutta of the Aga Khan University (AKU) has been ranked among the top 100 medicine scientists in the first edition of top scientists ranking for medicine published by Research.com, one of the major knowledge centres for medicine research.
The ranking is based on criteria that consider h-index, which indicates how productive and influential a researcher is, as well as publications and citations. The ranking team examined 166,880 scientists on Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic Graph, and over 65,743 profiles for the discipline of medicine. Professor Bhutta is the only scientist from Pakistan and the low- and middle-income countries who made it to the top 100.
“Congratulations to Professor Bhutta and his team for this great achievement. Their relevant research at the AKU has changed lives not only in the countries where we seek to serve but also globally,” said AKU President Sulaiman Shahabuddin.
Professor Bhutta is one of the original members of the AKU’s faculty since the establishment of the university.
