}} Banting House is known as “The Birthplace of Insulin.” Located at 442 Adelaide St. N. in London, Ontario, it is the house where Sir Frederick Banting woke up at two o’clock in the morning on October 31st, 1920 with the idea that led to the discovery of insulin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Birth of an Idea )〕 Since 1984, the house has been a museum dedicated to Banting’s discovery and his life.〔"’Insulin birthplace' finally honoured". London Free Press, October 31, 1984〕 An addition at the back houses the London & District Branch of the Canadian Diabetes Association. For many that have been touched by diabetes, the house is an emotional reminder of Banting’s scientific contribution that saved their lives or the lives of their loved ones.〔 Burden, George. "Banting House a Touching Tribute to Medical Hero". Medical Post, April 10, 2007〕 ==Introduction== Banting lived at the house in London for ten months, beginning in June, 1920. He attempted a private medical practice and when it was unsuccessful, he began working at the University of Western Ontario; his research for a lecture there was what inspired his 25 word idea that provided the key to discovering insulin, and prevented the certain death of those affected by diabetes. Banting returned to the University of Toronto to begin his research on insulin in the spring of 1921.〔 Banting House is dedicated to the story behind the discovery of insulin, as well as Banting’s life and career. Its galleries focus on everything from his time spent in London, to his contributions in both World Wars, to his efforts as an artist. Some notable artifacts include Banting’s original art, desk, medicine cabinet, and bed frame, as well as his Military Cross, the KBE, and his official replica of the Nobel Prize.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Captain Banting: War Hero )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Frederick Grant, Artist )〕 Banting House was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1997.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Banting House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
