Shared the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, but not a direct research collaboration: Fleming discovered penicillin years earlier and had abandoned its development; Florey led the Oxford team (with Ernst Chain) that independently turned it into a usable drug.

Shared the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and a direct working partnership distinct from the shared-prize-only Florey-Fleming edge already wired by ChangeLogId 3625: Chain was Florey's own collaborator on the Oxford team (per that same edge's own citation) that turned penicillin into a usable drug, unlike Fleming who had already abandoned its development.

shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Ernst Chain and Sir Alexander Fleming "for the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect in various infectious diseases". 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.
