TFA blurb
Howard Florey (1898–1968) was an Australian pharmacologist and pathologist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Ernst Chain and Alexander Fleming for his role in the development of penicillin. Although Fleming received most of the credit for the drug's discovery, it was Florey and his team at the University of Oxford who developed techniques for growing, purifying and manufacturing it, tested it for toxicity and efficacy on animals, and carried out the first clinical trials. Later trials in Britain, the United States and North Africa were highly successful. In addition to his work on penicillin, Florey researched many other subjects, including lysozyme, contraception and cephalosporins. He was elected president of the Royal Society in 1960, became provost of The Queen's College, Oxford, in 1962, and served as chancellor of the Australian National University from 1965 until his death. Florey's discoveries are estimated to have saved over 80 million lives.
