Fredrick Banting Sir Frederick Grant Banting
It occurred to me when we were puffing up the hill and the train was speeding along away below that the engine with all its power could not go up that slushy, soft, snowy road as fast as we could. Power is useless unless directed in the proper channel. People have different powers and the big question in life must be-"Are we on the right road for travel ?" We will certainly not get far in our given time unless we have chosen the road that is fitted to our particular locomotive.

A ThinkQuest Internet Challenge 2000 Entry
Click image for the Site Site Desciption As the world bid farewell to the 1910's, it was introduced to a decade that would be unlike any other. Separating two world wars, the 1920's followed events such as the sinking of the Titanic (1912), the invention of stainless steel (1913), and the completion of the Panama Canal (1914). The Roaring Twenties would have their own share of excitement and wonder as well - the Treaty of Versailles ended World War I, penicillin was discovered, and the Sultan of Swat hit 60 home runs. These events were and still are significant, but they reflect only a small portion of the full story.

http://www.nobel.se/medicine/laureates/1923/banting-bio.html
Frederick Grant Banting was born on November 14, 1891, at Alliston, Ont., Canada. He was the youngest of five children of William Thompson Banting and Margaret Grant. Educated at the Public and High Schools at Alliston, he later went to the University of Toronto to study divinity, but soon transferred to the study of medicine. In 1916 he took his M.B. degree and at once joined the Canadian Army Medical Corps, and served, during the First world War, in France. In 1918 he was wounded at the battle of Cambrai and in 1919 he was awarded the Military Cross for heroism under fire.
When the war ended in 1919, Banting returned to Canada and was for a short time a medical practitioner at London, Ontario. He studied orthopaedic medicine and was, during the year 1919-1920, Resident Surgeon at the Hospital for Sick Children , Toronto. From 1920 until 1921 he did parttime teaching in orthopaedics at the University of Western Ontario at London, Canada, besides his general practice, and from 1921 until 1922 he was Lecturer in Pharmacology at the University of Toronto. In 1922 he was awarded his M.D. degree, together with a gold medal.

THE CANADIAN MEDICAL HALL OF FAME

Sir Frederick Grant Banting
1994 Inductee
Frederick Grant Banting completed his medical studies at the University of Toronto and established a surgical practice in London, Ontario. He supplemented his income by working as a medical demonstrator at the University of Western Ontario. It was there he conceived a technique which might permit isolation of the anti-diabetic component of the pancreas. He returned to the University of Toronto in 1922 to conduct experiments on the pancreas at the labs of Dr. J.R.R. MacLeod. By the time the summer had ended, he and Charles Best had isolated insulin. Dr. Collip developed the process by which insulin was able to be refined and produced in sufficient amounts for clinical trials. Fame came quickly to the soft-spoken Banting who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine because of the discovery. Many honours followed, including knighthood. Banting continued to work and do research and coordinated the National Wartime Medical Research effort. His life was tragically cut short by a fatal air crash in Newfoundland in 1941.

C'est à London qu'il a conçu une technique qui pourrait permettre d'isoler la composante anti-diabétique du pancréas. Il retourna à l'Université de Toronto en 1922, pour continuer ses expériences sur le pancréas dans les laboratoires du docteur J.R.R. MacLeod. A la fin de l'été, les dr Banting et Charles Best avaient isolé l'insuline. Le dr Charles Collip mit au point le procédé qui permettait de raffiner et de traiter l'insuline en quantité suffisante pour des essais cliniques. Grâce à sa découverte, le discret dr Banting devint célèbre et remporta le prix Nobel de médecine. Des nombreux autres honneurs suivirent, y compris le titre de chevalier, et le dr Banting continua ses recherches et coordonna les travaux nationaux de recherches médicales en temps de guerre.

During his term as Prime Minister (1963-1968), his government established the National Arts Centre; introduced the universal health care system advocated by Supreme Court Justice Emmett Hall’s commission; and gave Canada its own flag. In 1956, Pearson devised a plan to defuse the "Suez Crisis" – the first peacekeeping force in UN history, which would supervise a withdrawal and separate the warring, parties. He played a leading role at the United Nations to bring about a peaceful resolution and, for this diplomatic triumph, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957. Pearson was made a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1968.

Frederick Banting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Medical Scientist Born Frederick Grant Banting on November 14 in Alliston, Ontario Canada After studying medicine at the University of Toronto , Frederick Banting served in the Canadian Army Medical Corps during World War I In 1922, while doing research at a University of Toronto laboratory, he and his young assistant, Dr. Charles Best discovered the pancreatic hormone insulin , one of the most significant advances in medicine at the time. Until this time, the millions of people worldwide who suffered from the endocrinal disease, diabetes , could not be treated and it was one of the leading causes of death. People suffered from problems with fat and protein metabolism, leading to blindness and then death only a short time after the onset of the illness.

  • Sid Altman Altman is worried. He has no job prospects and he has little to show for a year of work in Francis Crick's laboratory in Cambridge, England.
  • Sid Altman I was born in Montreal in 1939, the second son of poor immigrants. My mother worked in a textile mill and my father in a grocery store before they met and married. It was from them that I learned that hard work in stable surroundings could yield rewards, even if only in infinitesimally small increments.

    Frederick Banting
  • Federick Banting and Charles Best In the fall of 1920, Banting, a surgeon without research experience, read an article about the pancreas. Later that night, he jotted down his idea for an experimental procedure that would lead, in less than two years, to the miraculous recovery of the first diabetic patient experimentally treated with insulin.
