Once In A Lifetime Athelete 🔥 The HISTORY Maker ⚽. #LeoMessi
Dr. Yellapragada Subba Row (1895–1948) - Born in Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh, India
Known as the “Wizard of Wonder Drugs” for his extraordinary contributions
Scientific community feels he deserved atleast
3 Nobel Prizes for his Pioneering drug discoveries
Both at Harvard and Lederle Labs, New york he discovered the following :
1. The Fiske-Subbarow Method
Working with Cyrus Fiske, he developed a colorimetric method for the estimation of phosphorus in body fluids. Published in 1925, this became one of the most cited papers in scientific history (over 20,000 citations).
2. Discovery of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
He was the first to isolate and identify ATP and phosphocreatine, describing their role as the primary "energy currency" of the cell. This discovery is a cornerstone of every biology textbook today, explaining how muscles contract and how cells store energy.
3. Synthesis of Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) :
Driven by the tragic loss of his brothers to tropical sprue (a nutritional deficiency disease), he successfully synthesized folic acid in 1945. This was crucial for treating macrocytic anemia and is now a global standard for preventing birth defects during pregnancy.
4. Methotrexate :
The world's first effective chemotherapy drug. Developed alongwith with Dr. Sidney Farber, it revolutionized the treatment of childhood leukemia and is still used for various cancers and rheumatoid arthritis.
5. Aureomycin :
The first tetracycline (broad-spectrum) antibiotic. It was effective against a much wider range of bacteria than penicillin, including those causing typhus and the plague.
6.Diethylcarbamazine (Hetrazan) :
A breakthrough treatment for Filariasis (elephantiasis), a disease that afflicted millions in Asia and Africa.
7. Vitamin B12 :
His lab was instrumental in isolating and concentrating liver extracts to treat Pernicious Anemia, leading to the identification of B12.
Global Health Impact: His medicines continue to save lives worldwide.
Day 2 of learning: Change of plan. My interest in C++ contributions requires some hardware my laptop can't handle, so I switched to Python.
Goal: Preparing for both GSoC and Outreachy.
Video: learning about basics about opensource
I started learning about open source to get into GSoC.
Day one of learning: Watching Linus Torvalds' TED interview is quite motivating, even though he had already accomplished a lot by my current age.
Trying to figure out a guide for C++ projects.
