Sir Frederick Grant Banting

Mount Pleasant Cemetery

 

Banting and Best (along with John J.R. Macleod and James B. Collip) discovered and purified insulin in 1921.

 

Banting and Macleod went on to win the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

 

The patent for insulin was sold to the University of Toronto for $1 as they felt that all who needed insulin, should be able to afford it.
