Scottish biochemist & physiologist John Macleod was born #OTD in 1876.

Macleod shared the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Frederick Banting for their work on insulin. Although Banting and Best are often credited with the discovery of insulin, Macleod’s role was crucial. He provided the experimental design and supervised the research, ensuring the success of the experiments and he helped refine the purification process for insulin, making it viable for medical use.
