| Kuala Lumpur: C.P. Ramachandran, an ethnic Indian, has been made professor emeritus by Universiti Sains Malaysia for his contributions in the field of education, research and community service.
Ramachandran did pioneering work in research and control of filariasis, a parasitic and infectious tropical disease, before moving to the World Health Organisation.
"It was there that I set high standards for postgraduate training of young scientists from developing countries," media quoted him as saying today.
Ramachandran, 73, has been honoured by various institutions at home and abroad for his work on tropical diseases and their cure.(IANS) |
