HOWARD WALTER FLOREY 1898 – 1968 editor of this book was an Australian pharmacologist and pathologist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Ernst Chain and Sir Alexander Fleming for his role in the development of penicillin. Although Fleming received most of the credit for the discovery of penicillin it was Florey and his team at the University of Oxford who made it into a useful and effective drug ten years after Fleming had abandoned its development. They developed techniques for growing purifying and manufacturing the drug tested it for toxicity and efficacy on animals and carried out the first clinical trials. In 1935 he became the director of the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at Oxford. He assembled a multidisciplinary staff that could tackle major research projects. In addition to his work on penicillin he researched many other subjects most notably lysozyme contraception and cephalosporins. Florey's discoveries are estimated to have saved over 80 million lives and he is regarded by the Australian scientific and medical community as one of its greatest figures. THIS COMPILATION OF LECTURES BY OXFORD FACULTY includes ten by Florey including microscopy inflammation and regeneration. Lloyd-Luke hardcover books
