Certainly not in the theological world. perhaps you were thinking of his medical research?

No not his medical research.

Sevetus attack on western christianity came byo of descartes who was a follower of Servetus. It was descartes who created the whole university system and divided it up into math physics biology chemistry etc.

Descartes created the frame work by which knowledge is understood in the west. In his tree of knowledge metaphysics was the root. Philosophy was the trunk. All the disciplines were the branches. Off on one small branch was theology/witchcraft.

Theology didn’t even belong on descartes tree. Witchcraft was actually at the root of science as it is actually a primitive science—that get cause and effect wrong.

But it was descartes tree of knowledge that newton looked at when he was in school. It was descartes tree of knowledge that 18th and 19th century university anthropologists drew inspiration from when they began treating the bible as like a norse or greek myth. they in turn informed the higher criticism school that eventually destroyed most protestant churches in europe —and are currently killing liberal protestant churches in the USA.
