A Jew who left Germany when Hitler came to power, Sir Ernst Chain was a winner, with Sir Alexander Fleming and Lord Florey of the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in 1945. Later he was a significant figure in the use of penicillins which, from the mid-1950s onwards revolutionised the use of the antibiotic in more than one field of medicine.
