I’ll concentrate on the work of two members: the most senior, Howard Florey, and the most junior, Norman Heatley—because they illustrate different aspects of meta-rationality. In 1935, Howard Florey, a physiologist, was appointed head of Oxford’s School of Pathology. That was the result ...
3 days ago · The real story of the development of penicillin right before the advent of the Second World War comes from the work of Howard Florey and his team at the Dunn Laboratories. Dunn was a hodgepodge of brilliant yet eccentric chemical researchers headed by Florey.
1 day ago · This book sets the record straight and tells the story of how it was 3 Oxford scientists, Howard Florey, Ernst Chain and Norman Heatley who isolated penicillin and turned it into a life-saving drug. It is a remarkable story, very well told, about a scientific breakthrough conducted on a shoestring budget in the middle of the second world war ...
2 days ago · Australian Howard Florey was producing sufficient penicillin for the American troops for D-day in June 1944. The Braggs (father and son) from Adelaide determined the structure of crystal using reflected and refracted X-rays (crystallography); which led to Rosalind Franklin's work that helped Watson and Crick to determine the structure of DNA in ...

6 days ago · Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin at London University in 1928 and it was synthesized by Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain at Oxford during World War II [2], but its breathtaking utility in saving lives, initially near the end of WWII, depended on production and distribution by what has come to be known as Big Pharma (with major support ...
1 day ago · Since the first pioneering efforts of Howard Florey and Chain in 1939, the importance of antibiotics, including antibacterials, to medicine has led to intense research into producing antibacterials at large scales.
