=== Antivenene research and production === In 1928, CSL also became involved in [[wiktionary:anti-venene|antivenene]] ([[antivenom]]) manufacture in conjunction with the snake venom research undertaken by [[Charles Kellaway]] at the Hall Institute.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Hobbins|first1=Peter G.|last2=Winkel|first2=Kenneth D.|date=2007-12-03|title=The forgotten successes and sacrifices of Charles Kellaway, director of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, 1923β1944|url=https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2007/187/11/forgotten-successes-and-sacrifices-charles-kellaway-director-walter-and-eliza|journal=The Medical Journal of Australia|language=en|volume=187|issue=11|pages=645β648|doi=10.5694/j.1326-5377.2007.tb01457.x|pmid=18072902|s2cid=23444263|url-access=subscription}}</ref> This led to the successful clinical testing of antivenene against tiger snake ''[[Notechis scutatus]]'' bite in 1930 and its commercial release in 1931. In 1934, the research on snake venoms was transferred from the Hall Institute to CSL under the direction of former snake showman and herpetologist Tom "Pambo" Eades. This represented the initiation of research at the laboratories β an outcome its directors had been seeking for over a decade. The relationship with the Hall Institute continued until World War II, particularly via joint projects on viral diseases including [[polio]] and [[influenza]] coordinated by [[Frank Macfarlane Burnet]] and Esmond "Bill" Keogh. Keogh played an important role in the establishment of [[penicillin]] production at CSL in 1944 β a critical wartime achievement.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/keogh-esmond-venner-bill-10724|title=Keogh, Esmond Venner (Bill) (1895β1970)|journal= Australian Dictionary of Biography|volume=15|year=2000|first1=Lyndsay|last1=Gardiner|first2=Geoffrey|last2=Serle|publisher=National Centre of Biography, [[Australian National University]]}}</ref>
