Edmond H Fischer Edmond H Fischer. Edmond H Fischer (1920) American biochemist whowas the corecipient with Edwin G. Krebs of the 1992 Nobel Prize http://www.nobel-winners.com/Medicine/edmond_fischer.html
Extractions: The son of Swiss parents, Fischer earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Geneva in 1947 and conducted research there until 1953. That year he went to the United States, where he joined Krebs on the faculty of the University of Washington, Seattle. He became a full professor there in 1961. Fischer and Krebs made their discoveries in the mid-1950s while studying reversible phosphorylation i.e., the attachment or detachment of phosphate groups to cell proteins. The two men were the first to purify and characterize one of the enzymes (phosphorylase) involved in the process of phosphorylation. They also discovered the enzymes that catalyze the attachment and detachment of phosphate groups, known as protein kinases and phosphatase, respectively. In the decades following these initial discoveries, scientists were able to identify many other enzymes that regulate specific processes in cells, leading to explanations of the mechanisms controlling basic activities in all living cells.

Extractions: Edmond H. Fischer Edmond H. Fischer says winning the prize can be "a bizarre business that catches you off guard. "The first question is: `Why us?' There are so many brilliant people working, including ones we've recommended." For a decade, he and Krebs had been among the thousand scientists asked to submit nominations for the prize. "If you get a gold medal in the Olympics, you know why. You came out first," he says. "In science, it's so different. You do your thing, working without thinking about this or any other award. Then all of the sudden in the middle of the night you get a call." That's how it happened for Fischer. He'd just returned from a trip to Italy in October 1992, when the telephone rang in the dark and woke him from a deep, jet-lagged sleep. An unfamiliar voice asked, "Are you Dr. Fischer?" "My first thought was, `Who is this guy? Does he want to sell me stocks, or replace the gutters on the house?' " "Are you Dr. Fischer from the University of Washington medical school?" the voice asked. " `Yeah,' I said. `Whaddya want?' `Congratulations,' said the voice. `This is CBS in New York. You've just won the Nobel Prize, along with Dr. Edwin Krebs.' "At first I didn't believe it," says Fischer. "But the moment he mentioned Ed, I woke up. I put the lights on. It was 3:45 a.m. As soon as I put the phone down, it rang again."

Extractions: Opportunity for young scientists Nachwuchs Since 1952, top students and scientific staff at research institutes in Germany and abroad have been invited to Lindau as a reward for the quality of their work. They are chosen from academic institutions and foundations and from lecturers at universities all over the world. By the year 2000, over 20000 students and young scientists had taken part at the Lindau meetings. Up to now, it was mainly European establishments, but the proportion of young people from other countries, particularly the USA, is increasing all the time. The organizers do their best to enable people from Asia and other continents to take part in the meetings. This is made possible by donors and sponsors who finance travel and accommodation costs or pay the participation fees.
Edmond H. Fischer - Autobiography edmond H. fischer Autobiography. Memories of my early childhoodare clouded with uncertainties because I was essentially separated http://www.nobel.se/medicine/laureates/1992/fischer-autobio.html
Extractions: Another important event marked my High School days: I was admitted to the Geneva Conservatory of Music. I had heard Johnny Aubert give an unforgettable rendition of Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto. I decided on the spot that I wanted to study with him. After an audition in which I nervously presented Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso and Chopin's A-maj. Polonaise, he took me on, and that spelled the beginning of many enthralling years. Music had always played an important part in my life, to such an extent that I even wondered whether I should not make a career of it. But finally I thought it better to keep music purely for pleasure. It was my goal to become a microbiologist but Fernand Chodat, the Professeur of Bacteriology, argued that there was little future in that field, which was probably the case in Switzerland at that time. He advised me to get a diploma in Chemistry saying that, in any case, test tubes were of more use than a microscope to modern microbiologists.

Extractions: P roteins are involved in most cell functions, and in most body functions such as digestion and movement. Because of proteins ' important and varied functions, they are closely regulated by the body through enzymes . The enzymes fine tune the working of a protein by attaching one or more phosphate groups to it. This is called "phosphorylation." Fischer and Krebs first purified and described an enzyme which regulates proteins by removing phosphate groups from the protein-"reversible protein phosphorylation." They did this by studying how muscles get energy to contract. Reversible protein phosphorylation affects nearly all bodily processes such as blood pressure, brain signals, and immune responses to several diseases, including cancer.

Extractions: At age 7, my parents sent my two older brothers and me to La Châtaigneraie, a large Swiss boarding school overlooking Lake Geneva. My oldest brother, Raoul, was the first to leave to attend the ETH, the Swiss Federal Polytechnical Institute in Zürich where he was awarded a degree in engineering. My brother Georges went to Oxford and read law. In 1935, I entered Geneva's all boys Collège de Calvin from which I obtained my Maturité Fédérale four years later, even as the specter of World War II loomed evermore menacing. While in school, I formed a lifelong friendship with my classmate Wilfried Haudenschild who dazzled me with his tinkering abilities, off-the-wall ideas and mechanical inventiveness. Together we decided that one of us should go into the Sciences and the other into Medicine so that we could cure all the ills of the world. Another important event marked my High School days: I was admitted to the Geneva Conservatory of Music. I had heard Johnny Aubert give an unforgettable rendition of Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto. I decided on the spot that I wanted to study with him. After an audition in which I nervously presented Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso and Chopin's A-maj.

Extractions: Biochimiste américain. Edmond H. Fischer est diplômé de l'université de Genève en 1947. Il y travaille comme enseignant de 1950 à 1953, date à laquelle il accepte un poste à l'université de Washington, à Seattle. C'est là qu'il rencontre Edwin G. Krebs , avec qui il travaillera pendant 30 ans. Dans les années 1950, les deux chercheurs orientent leurs études sur la contraction musculaire. Alors qu'ils étudient le métabolisme du glycogène dans les muscles, ils comprennent le mécanisme de phosphorylations et de déphosphorylations, un processus fondamental pour réguler l'activité de diverses enzymes. Ils isolent et décrivent la première protéine-kinase, une enzyme qui transfère le phosphate de l'acide adénosine triphosphorique (ATP) vers les protéines. Ils découvrent ensuite la phosphatase, l'enzyme qui supprime le phosphate, complétant ainsi le cycle qui permet à l'ATP de libérer l'énergie nécessaire à diverses fonctions, notamment à la contraction musculaire. En 1992, Fischer et Krebs partagent le prix Nobel de médecine ou physiologie.

Extractions: full-sized image Dr. Edmond H. Fischer was born in Shanghai in 1920. At age 7, he went to Switzerland where he carried out all his studies, receiving B.S. degrees in chemistry and biology and a Ph. D. degree in organic chemistry from the University of Geneva. After a few years as a Fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation and a Private Docent at the University of Geneva, he spent a year at the California Institute of Technology. In 1953, he joined the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Washington, where he is now Professor Emeritus. Within six months of his arrival in Seattle, he initiated his collaborative studies with Edwin G. Krebs on the regulation of glycogen phosphorylase. Fischer and Krebs went on to define the series of reactions in the cascade leading to the activation/inactivation of this enzyme as triggered by hormones and calcium. Since then, they have been working on the regulation of different cellular processes by reversible protein phosphorylation. Toward the end of his career, Dr. Fischer"s laboratory had been particularly interested in the identification, characterization and regulation of a variety of intracellular and receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases and their involvement in signal transduction, cell cycle progression and transformation. Dr. Fischer has served on numerous scientific advisory boards, including those for NIH and NSF, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the Friedrich Miescher Institute of CIBA-GEIGY, the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, the Basel Institute for Immunology, the Scientific Governors of the Scripps Research Institute and the Weizmann Institute of Science.
