Youngest-ever Nobel winner in Medicine had discovered insulin

The youngest-ever person to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was Frederick Banting, who won the award at the age of 32 in 1923 for co-discovering insulin. Banting also served as a liaison officer between the British and North American medical services and, while thus engaged, he was, in February 1941, killed in an air disaster in Newfoundland.
