Niyamat Gulati

Passionate about healthcare and driven by curiosity, I’m a high school student with over 2 years of hands-on experience in clinical settings. I’ve shadowed leading cardiologists, volunteered at animal shelters, and conducted independent research on rare neurological conditions. My goal is to blend rigorous scientific inquiry with compassionate patient care, creating innovative solutions that make a lasting impact.

Independent Research and Presentation on Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis

● Conducted an independent research on Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis and presented it in school to spread more awareness . As it is a highly fatal condition with a fatality rate of over 98% and affects the nervous system .
● This research was focused on the pathogenesis , symptoms, prevention and treatment of PAM and how the drug Miltefosine which is highly lipophilic can remain unionized so as to pass easily through the cell membrane and cause apoptosis in the leishmania -Naegleria Fowleri.
● Took initiative to raise awareness by presenting research findings at school , spreading awareness to more than 500+ students about this disease .
