Soft cover. Condición: New. Booklet, 11 pp., illustrated. Penicillin and Luck is based on a talk given by Norman Heatley at Rockefeller University in 1989 on the role of luck and chance in the development of penicillin. Norman Heatley was a key member of the Oxford team under Howard Florey that developed the life-saving drug penicillin during World War 2. Under the severe privations of wartime Britain, Heatley's inventiveness and ingenuity in extracting and purifying penicillin (using, for example, bedpans from the Radcliffe Infirmary to grow the mould artificially) produced enough of the drug to use in the first clinical trials on humans in 1941. The team then shared its knowledge with American pharmaceutical companies, enabling them to mass-produce the drug in time for the final stages of the war. The stone memorial outside the Oxford Botanic Garden commemorating the work of the penicillin team concludes with the words: "All mankind is in their debt.".…

A culture vessel used for the production of penicillin, from the collection of the vessel's designer, Norman Heatley. It was used by Howard Florey's research team, who pioneered the drug's clinical use. It is offered with Heatley's collection of offprints by Florey, as well as the papers that announced their discovery: "Penicillin as a Chemotherapeutic Agent" (1940) and "Further Observations on Penicillin" (1941). Although penicillin was discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming, it "might well have become an obscure scientific curiosity but for the work of Chain and Florey" (PMM). It was not until 1938, when Florey (1898-1968) and his team at the University of Oxford began working on it, that its therapeutic potential was fully realized. However, a major challenge was producing enough of the drug to treat an adult patient. This problem was solved by Heatley (1911-2004), a "genius for improvisation and invention", who developed the back-extraction technique, enabling penicillin to be efficiently purified in bulk (ODNB). The next obstacle was producing sufficient culture vessels for the new technique during wartime. With metal in short supply and glass prohibitively expensive, the team repurposed domestic items such as baking trays and bedpans from the Radcliffe Infirmary. The bedpans proved particularly effective, inspiring Heatley to design his own version. Produced by James MacIntyre & Co. in Burslem, Staffordshire, in 1940, the vessels were glazed on the inside to be watertight, unglazed on the outside to prevent slippage, and stackable to save space during fermentation. "This unassuming object made it possible for the first clinical trials of penicillin to take place" (BBC/British Museum). In 1941, Florey and Heatley travelled to the US with the evidence from these trials to convince American pharmaceutical companies to undertake mass production of the drug. By 1943, penicillin was in use, "saving hundreds of thousands of lives during World War II" (Norman). Florey received the Nobel Prize in 1945, along with Fleming and Ernst Chain. Although Heatley was not awarded the prize (which limits recipients to three), he received an honorary doctorate of medicine from Oxford in 1990, the first time a non-physician received the award. The crucial role that each individual played in turning penicillin into a usable drug was famously summarized by Henry Harris, Florey's successor as head of pathology at Oxford: "Without Fleming, no Florey or Chain. Without Chain, no Florey. Without Florey, no Heatley. Without Heatley, no penicillin". In 1994, Heatley gifted the vessel and offprints to his neighbour, David Cranston, the author of Penicillin and the Legacy of Norman Heatley (2016). A signed copy is included with the collection, along with related ephemera such as an autograph letter from Heatley discussing the offprint collection and the order of service for Heatley's funeral. The offprints are a representative selection of Florey's wide research interests throughout his career. They include his paper on the antimicrobial enzyme lysozyme - the study of which sparked his interest in penicillin - and his post-penicillin work on antibiotics, particularly against tuberculosis. A copy of the Royal Society's Florey bibliography, annotated to show the contents of this collection, is available upon request.
