Biographical note
The group of UK scientists was headed initially by Sir Robert Robinson and included Dr H. King.
Chain visited and/or lectured at various universities, institutions and laboratories. See A.41 for his own account of the scientific purpose of the visit.
Towards the end of his stay, the award of the Nobel Prize was announced and there is some reference to this in the later correspondence.
See B.26-B.29 for letters from colleagues at Oxford reporting on penicillin work in progress during Chain's absence.
See A.207 for letters from Chain's cousin Anna Sacharina during this period.
