	Howard Florey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Howard Walter Florey, Baron Florey, OM, FRS, (September 24, 1898 – February 21, 1968) was a pharmacologist who shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Ernst Boris Chain and Sir Alexander Fleming for his role in the extraction of penicillin.
		Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Florey was a brilliant student (and junior sportsman) who studied medicine at the University of Adelaide from 1917 to 1921.
		Having been knighted in 1944, Florey was made a life peer in 1965 as Baron Florey, of Adelaide in the Commonwealth of Australia and of Marston in the County of Oxfordshire.

	Howard Florey - Maker of the Miracle Mould
		Florey gathered a team of scientists at Oxford University in Britain in the 1930s, when working together on scientific discoveries as a group was not at all common.
		Florey explained his penicillin-making methods to people in the US, and there happened to be a Department of Agriculture laboratory looking for a new use for a thick liquid that was a by product from the corn-milling process.
		Although a suburb of Canberra is named after Howard Florey and his face appeared on the old $50 note, his dislike of publicity may be why his vital role in the penicillin story is still largely unknown around the world.

		Florey and Chain realise that the antibacterial properties of the penicillium natartum mould deserve greater scrutiny and focus the team on isolating and analysing penicillin, the mould's active constituent.
		Florey will also study the role of white cells in the fight against viruses and bacteria, laying the foundations for current understanding of the vaccination process.
		Florey will later say, "As we're all glad now that it works, but then you've got the reverse side of the medal, because I'm now accused of being partly responsible for the population explosion which is one of the most devastating things that the world has got to face for the rest of this century."

	ANU - The John Curtin School of Medical Research - JCSMR
		Howard Florey, one of Australia's Nobel laureates who became a medical scientist of great intemational reputation, was bom and educated in Adelaide, before becoming the South Australian Rhodes Scholar for 1921 at Oxford University in Britain.
		Though Florey was rightly acclaimed for his achievements in many areas of research, and was rewarded accordingly, it was for his role as the leader of the team of scientists who discovered and developed the therapeutic power of penicillin that he was most celebrated.
		Florey and his team often worked in straitened circumstances, with funding and equipment frequently in short supply, but they saw their product through from a scarce and very impure brown powder to the extensive commercial production and distribution of a purified and stunningly powerful antibiotic in a few short years.

	Howard Florey and Ernst Chain: Pharmaceutical Achievers - Antibiotics in Action
		Howard Walter Florey and Ernst Boris Chain, the scientists who followed up most successfully on Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin, each brought scientific knowledge and talent to the effort that filled out the other's contribution, but the two were mismatched in terms of their personalities.
		Florey was born in 1898 in Adelaide, Australia—the youngest of five children and the only son of an English shoemaker who had immigrated to Australia hoping to save his first wife and two eldest daughters, who were suffering from tuberculosis.
		Florey also worked with Albert Szent-Györgyi, who was well along in his work isolating vitamin C. After holding the first few positions in his career as an academic, he returned to Oxford in 1936 as the director of the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology.

	Editorial: Howard Florey and the penicillin story Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery - Find Articles
		This year (1998) marks the centenary of the birth of Howard Florey, the man whose development of the clinical use of penicillin ushered in the antibiotic era, saving countless millions of lives and making possible the treatment of serious orthopaedic infections and the major joint replacement surgery that we perform today.
		Howard Florey was born in Adelaide on 24 September 1898, the son of an English immigrant, a successful shoemaker, Joseph Florey and his wife Bertha.
		Florey was probably fortunate to settle into physiology under the direction of the famous pioneering neurophysiologist, Sir Charles Sherrington, and he subsequently graduated with first class honours in physiology at the University of Oxford.

	Howard Florey Institute
		In a world first study, scientists at Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have uncovered that people with Alzheimer's disease have the same pain threshold as people without the disease, but have great difficulty communicating the level of pain they are experiencing.
		Alzheimer's patients are administered fewer analgesics and report less clinical pain than healthy patients, so the Florey researchers investigated whether this was due to either the degeneration of central pain processing in the brain, or the inability for Alzheimer's patients to communicate the level of pain they were experiencing.
		Dr Farrell said the Florey study was the first in the world to use this scientific method to examine pain processing in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.
