D. Suresh Kumar was born on September 21, 1949, in the southern Indian province of Kerala, where he received his early education. He obtained a BSc degree in zoology from the University of Kerala (1969) and secured MSc (1972) and PhD degrees (1977) from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. His doctoral thesis was on the hormonal control of oxidative metabolism in reptiles. Thereafter, he spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Aston in Birmingham, England, investigating the pancreatic physiology of the rainbow trout. He returned to India in 1980 and joined the Department of Zoology, University of Calicut, Kerala, as pool officer in the scientist pool of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi.

He undertook a survey of the state of Ayurveda in the province and published his findings in provincial and national weeklies.

Prabhakar, presently at CDRI Lucknow, he proposed the first mathematical model for the ayurvedic concept of tridōṣa in the disease state. He also offered a novel definition for the ayurvedic class of medicine arka, based on his study of the Sanskrit text Arkaprakāśa.

Recenzii

"This book covers scientific aspects of Ayurvedic medicine from past to present and beyond. The material is dense, and each chapter begins with a table of contents for ease of reference. The author and contributors include a trove of past research and information making the case for the quality of this book. It is not merely a rehashing of previous work, but a connector between past work and what is possible in the future"
