 "Mazumdar-Shaw to receive Othmer Gold Medal")
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, chairperson and managing director of Biocon Ltd, will be conferred with the 2014 Othmer Gold Medal, a top award of US-based Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF). With the award, Mazumdar-Shaw will become the first Indian to receive the honour.
Earlier this year, Mazumdar-Shaw was also named among TIME magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. She has also been one of the youngest recipients of the national awards, Padma Shri (1989) and Padma Bhushan (2005), for her efforts in the field of industrial biotechnology.
Mazumdar-Shaw will be the 20th recipient of the Othmer Gold Medal and the third woman to receive the award, established in 1997.
"I feel privileged to receive this prestigious honour and join the distinguished list of previous recipients like James Watson, Ahmed Zawail, Robert Langer and many others from whom I have drawn great inspiration and deeply admired," Mazumdar-Shaw said.
