    Howard Florey was a key figure in the development of penicillin in the 1930s and 1940s. As the leader of the research team at the University of Oxford, Florey oversaw experiments with mice and coordinated the first human trials of penicillin in 1941. Through effective management of the research and convincing fundraising, Florey helped scale up production of penicillin, which went on to save over 300,000 lives during World War II by treating infected wounds.
