Florey Medical Research Foundation
Florey and his team of scientists changed the course of history when they developed penicillin into an antibiotic treatment.
The Florey Medical Research Foundation is named in honour of Lord Howard Florey, a University of Adelaide Medical School graduate, who shared in a Nobel Prize for his research and development of penicillin. His lifetime of achievement serves as a source of inspiration to students and researchers alike.
The Foundation is based within the Faculty of Health Sciences and is committed to raising funds for postgraduate research scholarships and early career postdoctoral research fellowships within the Medical Program.
