Today is the Punya Thithi of Dr. Yellapragada Subbarao, a genius not many would be aware of really. But his contribution to field of medicine, would rank right up with likes of Alexander Fleming, Ronald Ross, and one who really deserved a Nobel. 
Dr Subbarow made some of the most significant discoveries in the field of medicine, yet forget about ordinary people, even in the scientific community, his name is not too well known. And that is sad, considering his contribution has been no less than other stalwarts.
Remember Surat, 1994 and the deadly plague that struck the city. . A 3rd generation tetracycline called Doxycycline helped in combating the plague epidemic, and controlling it. The tetracylines were the effort of Yellapragada Subbarow’s untiring efforts.
