That their research was successful in such a short time was due in large part to Banting's abilities as a surgeon, Best's enthusiasm as a student, Collip's abilities as a biochemist, and Macleod's guidance in bringing the group together and providing it with the necessary resources. Banting shared his half of the prize money with Best, while Macleod shared his half with Collip. Soon after, in 1923, Banting and Macleod were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Collip, a biochemist from the University of Alberta who was on sabbatical in Toronto, the work was quickly crowned with success and the first applications of the extracts in humans became possible in January 1922. The Discovery of Insulin Michael Bliss The discovery of insulin at the University of Toronto in 1921-22 was one of the most dramatic events in the. Thanks to the support of Macleod and the collaboration with James B. In dogs with experimental diabetes, they demonstrated the blood sugar-lowering effect of pancreatic extracts.

He was assisted in his experimental program by the student Charles H. Macleod in the Institute of Physiology at the University of Toronto. The initiative for the work that led to the discovery of insulin in Toronto in 1921 came from Frederick G.
