[Caption]  NOBEL ACT: Shivani Sud's winning project uses
  biotechnology to treat colon cancer.

Indraprasth aka New Delhi - A 17-year-old Indian American
student, Shivani Sud, has won the $100,000 Intel Science
Talent Search scholarship, the US's most coveted school
prize commonly referred to as the Junior Nobel.

Her winning project uses biotechnology to identify and
treat patients suffering from colon cancer.

"This is a recognition of my hard work. It gives me an
opportunity to give back to others who need help," Shivani
said.

Daughter of Ish and Anu Sood, Shivani beat 40 finalists,
including seven other Indian Americans for the top prize.

Past winners of this prestigious annual competition have
later bagged more than one hundred of the world's top
Science and Math honours, including six Nobel prizes.

Will Shivani be the next in line? Well, we will have to
wait a little longer for that one.
