The discovery of insulin at the University of Toronto in 1921-2 was
one of the most dramatic events in the history of the treatment of
disease. Insulin, discovered by the Canadian research team of
Frederick Banting, Charles Best, James Collip, and John Macleod,
was a wonder drug with the ability to bring diabetes patients back
from the brink of death. It was no surprise that in 1923 the Nobel
Prize for Medicine was awarded for its discovery. In this engaging
and award-winning account, historian Michael Bliss draws on
archival records and personal adventures to recount the fascinating
story behind the discovery of insulin - a story as much filled with
fiery confrontation and intense competition as medical dedication
and scientific genius. With a new preface by Michael Bliss and a
foreword by Alison Li, the special centenary edition of The
Discovery of Insulin honours the one hundredth anniversary of
insulin's discovery and its continued significance a century later.
