Shared the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and a direct working partnership distinct from the shared-prize link between Florey and Fleming: Chain was Florey's own collaborator on the Oxford team that turned penicillin into a usable drug, unlike Fleming who had already abandoned its development.
