Possible version one:
Alexander Fleming (1881-1955) was a Scottish biologist, who discovered penicillin. Its use has been saving so many lives.
Fleming was raised by his mother and elder brother. It was because he grew up on a farm that he developed great power of observation. The year 1906 saw Fleming graduate as a top student from St Mary's Hospital Medical School, Imperial College London and begin his research. He made outstanding contributions to medical science, the most important of which was his discovery of
penicillin in 1928. Because of it, a Nobel Prize was awarded to him in 1945.
Fleming is without doubt one of the greatest biologists in history.
