Best, a medical student.
 

Insulin was discovered in 1921 by Frederick Banting and Charles
Best at the University of Toronto. They worked to isolate an
extract from a dog’s pancreas that could lower blood sugar
in other diabetic dogs.

Their discovery, initially a "thick brown muck," proved to be a groundbreaking treatment for diabetes.
