Are you asking about PENNICILLIN, or INSULIN?
Your spelling is so poor that it could be either.

The serendipitous discovery of penicillin is usually attributed to Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming in 1928, though others had earlier noted the antibacterial effects of Penicillium. Fleming, at his laboratory in St. Mary's Hospital (Now one of Imperial College teaching hospitals) in London, noticed a halo of inhibition of bacterial growth around a contaminant blue-green mould on a Staphylococcus plate culture. Fleming concluded that the mould was releasing a substance that was inhibiting bacterial growth and lysing the bacteria. He grew a pure culture of the mould and discovered that it was a Penicillium mould, now known to be Penicillium chrysogenum.

Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Flemming but I have never heard of pensulin, If you were refering to Insulin it would Fredrick Banting and Charles Best when they were trying to find a cure for Diabetes.

I think you're wanting to know who discovered penicillin... it was Alexander Fleming, a Scottish scientist, back in the 1920's.

Sorry, pensulin hasn't been invented yet.
