He also mentored several successful researchers in his laboratory at MBU, IISc.

Former science minister Jairam Ramesh paid tributes to Prof Vijayan.

“I’m deeply distresed at the death of Dr M. Vijayan. He was a very eminent molecular biophysicist and played a prominent role as part of Dorothy Hodgkin’s team in the unravelling of the structure of insulin. Georgina Ferry Hodgkin’s biographer has described his role very well,” Ramesh said.
