		Florey and his co-worker Chain found that penicillin did not behave like an antiseptic or an enzyme, but blocked the normal process of cell division.
		Their experiments showed that penicillin could protect against infection but that the concentration of penicillin in the human body and the length of time of treatment were vital factors.

	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.

		Howard Florey and Hugh Cairns, who was the Professor of Surgery at Oxford and a fellow Rhodes Scholar from Adelaide, flew to the North African Battle Zone, where Florey revolutionised the treatment of war wounds.

		Howard Florey: 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.

		Although Fleming, Florey and Chain shared a Nobel Prize in 1945 for their revolutionary work, accolades and media attention were disproportionately bestowed on Fleming, and in the popular imagination he was transformed into the sole creator of penicillin.
		In contrast, his co-laureates Howard Florey and Ernst Chain and their vital contributions to the translation of Fleming's 1928 observation of the antibiotic qualities of a penicillium mold into the lifesaving drug penicillin are little remembered.
		Florey, always idealistic, was horrified that publicity would raise the hopes of patients who could not expect to get any of the then minute quantities of the drug, so he refused to meet with reporters.
