| Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, the Indian-American scientist whose pioneering work in molecular biology won him the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, will head the prestigious Royal Society, a communion of the many of the world's most distinguished scientists.
The position is one of the most important in British science.
In 2011, Dr Ramakrishnan was honoured with a Knighthood in London in a rare recognition of achievements by foreigners based in Britain.
Known to most as Venky, the scientist is based at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge.
He was honoured last year by NDTV as one of India's 25 living legends.
He was conferred Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian honour, by then President Pratibha Patil in 2010
