Science is a field full of amazing people. Some people had make discoveries that had changed the world. Today I am going to write about a man whose discovery changed the way to treat lots of diseases. I will write about Alexander Fleming.
Sir Alexander Fleming was a Scottish pharmacologist, botanist and biologist who lived between 1811 and 1955. His best-known discovery was the enzyme lysozyme. He was also the first person who discovered the antibiotic power of the penicillin, a substance obtained from the mold Penicillium chrysogenum. (Funny fact: he wasn’t looking for this discovery. He could see this results after his holidays! On his own words: "When I woke up just after dawn on September 28, 1928, I certainly didn't plan to revolutionise all medicine by discovering the world's first antibiotic, or bacteria killer, but I suppose that was exactly what I did.")
Alexander Fleming won a Nobel Prize because of that last discovery.
Why did I choose him? Because his discovery still being so important in medicine. I think that the power of antibiotics is fundamental nowadays. Alexander Fleming took the first step to a modern pharmacology and as a future pharmacologist he is one of my icons.
I hope you had enjoyed my post!
