He conducted clinical trails in the madras Ayurvedic College. Later, he went to Harvard Medical School (HMS) for summer course. He always wanted to study Bio-Chemistry. His brother was died of anaemia while he watched helplessly. He thought that the isolation of the so-called Anti-Pernicious Anaemia Factor (APAF -Vitamin B12) would be a sweet revenge against this dreaded illness.
He discovered ATP substances are the source of energy in muscular activity. It was carried out in MIT in 1925. He developed a deep tank production technique of penicillin to produce in bulk. Folic acid in treatment of tropical sprue. Hetrazan in treatment for filariasis. Aureomycine is frist broad spectrum antibiotic to treat infections. Methotrexate , an anti metabolite - first drug for Cancer chemotherapy treatment.
He researched in liver extract in the treatment of anaemia. He published papers on pantothenic acid,biotin,miscellaneous B complex vitamins,steroids,TB,Trypanosomiasis, Cancer,
Blood pressure.
He died of atherosclerosis and coronary ischaemia in 1948.

DIED : 1966
NATIONALITY : INDIAN
FIELDS : BOTANIST & PHYCOLOGIST.
Ayyangar full name is Mandyam Osuri Parthasarathy Iyengar. He researched different types of Algae.He studied structure,cytology,reproduction and taxonomy of majar group of algae.He is also known as "Father of Indian Phycology" or " Father of Algology in India".
Professor Iyengar served a major part of his life teaching at the Precidency college.madras and the last dozen years as a Professor at the new esatblished University Research Labortoy at Madras. After retierment he was with facilities to work at home and he did so till the end.He aimed to obtain a comprehensive knowledge of India's algal wealth,its diversity and ecology.Teaching and research had to be oriented towards understanding our algae. Their morphology,reproductive features,ecology and so on. Before Iyengar's time ,we lacked working models of algae found and studied here.We depended on those that did n't belong to our environment and biological features were n't known to us. Our knowledge of Indian algal flora was minimal.It depended solely on the contributions of a few travelling,where primary base was out side India.
