Description | Fleming discovered the antibiotic penicillin at St Mary's Hospital in 1928, a breakthrough that revolutionised medicine and earned him a Nobel Prize. It was at St Mary's Hospital that C.R. Alder Wright first synthesized Diamorphine in 1874 and it was also there that Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. Fleming’s laboratory has been restored and incorporated into a museum about the discovery and his life and work Fleming museum Visitors to the Museum can see Fleming's laboratory, restored to its 1928 condition, and explore the story of Fleming and the discovery and development of penicillin through displays and video. |
