| Summary: | A graduate of the Ha Noi School of Medicine in 1936, assistant of the professor in parasitology Henri Galliard, Dr. Dang Van Ngu went to Japan from 1943 to 1949 for doing research on antibiotic producing fungi as well as on parasitic and contagious diseases. In 1949, when the war between France and Vietnam is in full swing, Dr. Dang Van Ngu decides to leave Japan and win Viet Bac, resistance zone of the Government of Ho Chi Minh. Thus, he devotes his entire life to take care of the production of penicillin from the fungal strains brought from Japan and the fight against malaria and parasitic diseases. In 1967, he moved to the front Binh Tri Thien to study on site the means to fight against malaria and is killed under the bombs dropped by US B52. Vietnam lost that day one of its best scientists. Like Professor Ton Thât Tung, Dr. Dang Van Ngu, which we trace life in broad strokes, can be considered a perfect synthesis between the patriotic commitment and scientific vocation that characterizes the generation of 1945. |
