Indian-origin scientist Venkatraman Ramakrishnan hounoured with knighthood
An India-born US citizen scientist Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, a winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, will be honoured with a Knighthood by the royal establishment in London in 2012. He works as a biologist at the Medical Research Council’s Molecular Biology Laboratories in Cambridge.
According to an official announcement, Ramakrishnan conferred knighthood ‘for services to Molecular Biology’. After Queen Elizabeth confers knighthood on him at the Buckingham Palace, he will be called “Sir Venkatraman Ramakrishnan”.
Ramakrishnan said in a statement, “This is an honour that reflects the quality of science supported by the Medical Research Council, in particular at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. In my case, credit should go to the numerous dedicated postdocs, students, associates and colleagues who made crucial contributions to the work”.
Venkatraman was born in 1952 in Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu state of India and was awarded Padma Vibhushan in 2010. He studied at Baroda University, Ohio University and the University of California, San Diego.
Besides Venkatraman, other India-born to be honoured in the 2012 list is Professor Dinesh Kumar Makhan Lal Bhugra, lately president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, for services to Psychiatry.
It is rare for foreign citizen to be honoured with Knighthoods.
