How Do I Become a Pathologist?

Australian British pathologist. Born in Adelaide, Australia on September 24, 1898, and died in Oxford, England on February 21, 1968. After graduating from Adelaide University School of Medicine in 1922, he went to Oxford Advanced Physiology College and Cambridge University for further studies. From 1931 to 1934, he was Professor of Pathology at the University of Sheffield, from 1935 to 1962, he was Professor of Pathology at Oxford University, and then Dean of Queens College, Oxford. He was elected a member of the Royal Society in 1941, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering penicillin (penicillin) in 1945. He founded the John Katyn Medical Research Centre of the Australian National University in 1958, and served as president of the Royal Society in 1960. Queen Elizabeth conferred the title of Jazz and served as Honorary President of the Australian National University. ^[1]

Flory

(Pathologist)

Australian British pathologist. Born in Adelaide, Australia on September 24, 1898, and died in Oxford, England on February 21, 1968. Graduated in 1922

Howard Walter Florey, Baron Florey (1898.9.24-1968.2.21): Well-known British pathologist, Professor of Pathology, University of Oxford, UK. President of the Royal Society from 1960 to 1965. Early studies of antibiotics secreted by bacteria and mold. After 1939,

Inventor of penicillin (also known as penicillin)

In 1928, British bacteriologist Alexander Fleming discovered that Penicillium could secrete a substance to kill bacteria. He named the substance "penicillin", but he failed to purify it for clinical use. In 1929, Fleming published his research results. Unfortunately, this paper has not received much attention from the scientific community since its publication.

Ten years later, the German chemist Ernst Chann saw Fleming's thesis in an old book stack, and began purifying experiments. In the winter of 1940, Qian En refined a little penicillin. Although this was a major breakthrough, it was still far from clinical application.

In 1941, a baton purified from penicillin was passed to the hands of Australian pathologist Walter Flory. With the assistance of the U.S. military, Flory isolated bacteria from the soil brought back from airports in various countries when pilots went out to perform missions, increasing the production of penicillin from 2 units per cubic centimeter to 40 units.

Although this is far from the production of penicillin, Flory was very happy. One day, Flory took a walk on the street outside the laboratory gate after work and saw that the roadside fruit shop was full of watermelons. "This time work is progressing well. Buy a few watermelons to comfort your colleagues!" Thinking, He walked into the fruit store.

The watermelons in this store looked very good. Flory bent down, stretched out his forefinger to knock on this one, knocked on it, and then picked up a few. He just left after paying the money, and suddenly glanced at the counter. There was a crushed watermelon. Although this watermelon is larger than other watermelons, several peels have ulcerated, and a layer of green mold has grown on it.

Flori stared at the rotten melon for a long time, and frowned for a while, then suddenly said to the boss, "I want this one."

"Sir, that's the bad melon we just picked, and it's about to be thrown away? It's bad to eat," the boss reminded.

"I want this one." As Flory put down the watermelon in his arms, he walked out of the fruit store with the rotten melon.

"Sir, you can take those good melons too. I'll give you this rotten melons." The boss shouted after him.

"But I can't hold so many melons. Besides, what if I break this one?"

"So, then I'll give you the money you just gave me!" The boss took the money for a few steps, but Flory had gone far. The boss shook his head, looking a little puzzledly at the back of this strange customer.

Flory returned to the laboratory holding the rotten watermelon, immediately took a little green mold from the melon, and began to cultivate the bacteria. Soon, the experimental results came out. What made Flory excited was that the penicillin obtained from the rotten watermelon had suddenly increased from 40 units per cubic centimeter to 200 units.

In October 1943, Flory signed the first batch of penicillin production contracts with the US military. Penicillin was born at the end of World War II and quickly reversed the war situation of the Allies. After the war, penicillin was widely used, saving tens of millions of lives. For this great invention, Flory shared with Fleming and Chann the 1945 Nobel Prize in Biology and Medicine.
