\nThe purpose of his visit was to encourage the incredible achievements of Dr. Ishaq Khan, a remarkable scientist belonging to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who is working on modern cancer research in this international institution.
\nOn this occasion, Prof Dr. Zia ul Haq said that Dr. Ishaq\u2019s association with MIT and his commitment is a source of immense pride not only for our nation but for scientists around the globe.
\nHe stands as a shining example of achievement and determination that has inspired countless other young researchers to reach for the stars.
