Google doodle honoured Indian American biochemist, Har Gobind Khorana who shared 1968 Nobel Prize for physiology or medician with Marshall W Nirenberg and Robert W Holley on his 96th birthday.

Hailing from Raipur, today in Pakistan, Khorana did significant research on the order of nucleotides in nucleic&nbsp;acids which carry the genetic code of the cell that controls the cell&#39;s synthesis of proteins which helped&nbsp;him to win the Nobel prize.

Khorana served on the faculty of the University of British Columbia from 1952 to 1960 where he also initiated his Nobel Prize-winning work.

The biochemist also received the National Medal of science and co-directed the Institute for enzyme research.

Khorana was also elected as a foreign member of the Royal Society in 1978.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison, DBT Department of Biotechnology of the Indian government and the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum jointly created the Khorana Program in 2007 with the mission to build &quot;seamless community&quot;&nbsp;of scientists, industrialists, and social entrepreneurs in the United States and India.

The program is focused on three objectives - providing graduate and undergraduate students with a transformative research experience, engaging partners in rural development and food, security, and facilitating public-private partnerships between the US&nbsp;and India.

Khorana died in 2011 at the age of 89 in Concorde, US.
