Pakistani-American Doctor ho**ured by Barak Obama
WASHINGTON: U.S. President Barack Obama has felicitated a Pakistani-American Doctor with the nation’s top ho**ur on the field of tech**logy and in**vation.
According to the media reports 53-year-old Humayun, who is a grandson of personal physician of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, received the National Medal of Tech**logy and In**vation for invention, development, and application of bioelectronics in medicine, including a retinal prosthesis for restoring vision to the blind, thereby significantly improving patients’ quality of life. Mr. Humayun’s family migrated from Jalandhar to Pakistan after partition. His grandfather Colonel Ilahi Bakhsh was the personal physician of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Humayun’s family moved to the U.S. in 1972 when he was nine years old. Co-inventor of Argus ****** retina implants that are intended to restore sight to the blind, Mr. Humayun is the only ophthalmologist ever to be elected a member of both US National Academies of Medicine and Engineering. At a White House function, Mr. Obama said that Mr. Humayun’s invention was inspired by the illness of his grandmother. “When his diabetic grandmother lost her vision, he began studying to become an ophthalmologist, hoping he could save the sight of others. “Mark helped create the ‘Argus II’, a ‘bionic eye’ that has restored vision to patients who’ve been blind for up to 50 years,” Mr. Obama said. “He says the moment when he witnessed someone seeing light and shapes, someone experiencing the miracle of sight for the first time in decades — those moments have been some of the happiest and most rewarding of his professional career. In his words — and I think ** pun is intended —“There wasn’t a dry eye in the operating room,” Mr. Obama said. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Pakistani-American Doctor ho**ured by Barak Obama || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
