Simon Fishel (born 29 July 1953) is an English physiologist, biochemist and pioneering ''in vitro'' fertilisation (IVF) specialist. Fishel joined Robert Edwards in 1975 and eventually worked alongside Edwards and Patrick Steptoe, the duo that successfully pioneered conception through IVF, leading to the birth of Louise Brown on 25 July 1978. == Early life and education == Simon Brian Fishel was born in Liverpool and grew up in Calderstones Park. His father was a tailor and his mother was one of 12 siblings from a family of Eastern European refugees. Fishel was educated at King David High School, Liverpool, where he became Head Boy. After securing A-Levels, Fishel initially taught at a school in Speke, on the outskirts of Liverpool. He then studied Physiology and Biochemistry at the University of Salford, graduating in 1975 with double first-class BSc Honours. Fishel moved to the University of Cambridge after being appointed to a PhD position in virology, but soon decided that a career studying viruses was not for him. He then met future Nobel Prize-winner Robert Edwards, under whose supervision he would gain a PhD and find a field to which he would commit his life's work. In 1978, Fishel was appointed as a Don at Churchill College, Cambridge and was also awarded the Beit Memorial Foundation Fellowship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simon Fishel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
