H.E. Prof. Dr. M. Iqbal Choudhary, Coordinator-General of OIC-COMSTECH, has been honoured with the Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said Award 2025 in science and education in recognition of his outstanding contributions to research and innovation.
The award was presented by Governor Punjab H.E. Sardar Saleem Haider Khan during a ceremony at Governor House, Lahore, organised by Hamdard Pakistan. Mrs. Sadia Rashid, Chairperson of Hamdard Pakistan, attended the event as a distinguished guest.
Prof. Dr. Choudhary is internationally recognised for leadership in natural-product chemistry, medicinal plant research and traditional medicine innovation.
