Correct answer: Howard Florey

Howard Florey led the brilliant team at Oxford University that turned Fleming's chance discovery into a usable drug. While Fleming discovered the mold, it was Florey's team, including Ernst Chain, who figured out how to extract and purify it. Florey shared the 1945 Nobel Prize for this monumental achievement.
