The first commercial supply of insulin was distributed in late 1923.
Banting and Macleod received the 1923 medicine prize. Banting split his half of the prize money with Best, and Macleod split the other half of the prize money with Collip.

We named Project Arrow for Avro Arrow. The spirit of what those amazing 🇨🇦s did in the 1950s inspires us still.
I’m not afraid of how it ended, I know its history. If it were easy, there’d be nothing to talk about.
I’m very proud that members helped to build both.
