Ernst Chain: Scientific Genius 1906 –1979 Ernst Chain: Antibiotics Pioneer Sir Derek Barton wrote that there are "few scientists who, by the application of their science, have made a greater contribution to human welfare than Sir Ernst Chain." Joe Armstrong played Heatley in recent TV drama 'Breaking the Mould' Norman Heatley— the Unsung Hero who developed penicillin "Without Fleming, no Chain; without Chain, no Florey; without Florey, no Heatley; without Heatley, no penicillin." Dr Heatley played a vital role — discovering how to extract penicillin from whatever it grew on so it could be used as a medicine — he was the only one of the four not to be awarded the 1945 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Norman Heatley, the Unsung Hero who Developed Penicillin "Without Heatley, No Penicillin" As Sir Henry Harris put it succinctly in 1998: Without Fleming, no Chain or Florey; without Florey, no Heatley; without Heatley, no penicillin.
