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.
