| Summary: | M. S. Valiathan, as he is popularly
known, can be best described as an intel-
lectual wanderer par excellence. Folk
history would remember him as the first
physician scientist of modern India who
married medicine to technology, thereby
bringing relief to many and enhancing
national pride in medical devices and
biomaterials. He was a wanderer geogra-
phically in his early professional life like
so many doctors of that era. In later
years, his nomadic nature took him to
cross many disciplines and address many
intellectual challenges. But always he
remained a wanderer even when physi-
cally rooted to south India |
