By the time the summer had ended, he and Charles Best had isolated insulin. Dr. J.B. Collip developed the process by which insulin was able to be refined and processed in sufficient amounts for clinical trials. Fame came quickly to the soft-spoken Banting who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine because of his discovery. Many honours followed, including knighthood, and Banting continued to work on further research and coordinated the National Wartime Medical Research effort. His efforts were cut short by a fatal crash in Newfoundland in 1941.
Power is useless unless directed in the proper channel.
We will certainly not get far in our given time unless we have chosen the road that is fitted to our particular locomotive. Dr. Charles Herbert Best Charles Herbert Best, just a few weeks after receiving an Honours Baccalaureate in Physiology and Chemistry, jumped at the chance for a summer's work with Dr. Frederick Banting. It was a classic case of being at the right place at the right time. Less than three months later, Best's name was known throughout the medical world, and he had not even begun his medical studies. During the research at the University of Toronto, Banting did the surgical work and Best followed with the chemical assays, and with Collip the purification of the chemical extracts.
