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.

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.

December 2002 Columns Magazine: Lasting Legacies - 101 UW Achievements Pharmacology/Biochemistry Professor Edwin Krebs and edmond H. fischer were thefirst to turn on certain chemical switches to activate proteins and regulate http://www.washington.edu/alumni/columns/dec02/achievements_awards.html
Extractions: We could easily run a list of 101 award winners and not even list inventions, great feats or special achievements-but that approach would fail to represent the full breadth of UW accomplishments. So we decided to limit awards, but found that making the cut was one of our greatest challenges. Sadly, we had to drop awards that were specific to one discipline-such as the Lasker Prize in medicine or the Bancroft Prize in history-and focus on programs that cross several disciplines and that are national or international in scope. In addition to famous awards such as the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, we also included honors given by the White House and Congress for extraordinary lifetime achievements. Yet another awards program, the MacArthur Foundation "genius" grants, not only spans many disciplines, but often highlights unusual achievements. NOBEL PRIZE Hans Dehmelt With Edwin Krebs, Biochemistry Professor Edmond Fischer's research fostered techniques that prevent the body from rejecting transplanted organs. Their breakthrough also opened new doors for research into cancer, blood pressure, inflammatory reactions and brain signals. They shared the 1992 prize in medicine.

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. 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.
Extractions: The most important thing one could teach students about science is that in science nothing is acquired for good, and nothing is absolutely definitive . As Albert Einstein once said, 'no number of experiments can ever prove that I am right, but a single experiment, at any time, can prove that I am wrong'. Some people see this element of doubt as one of the weaknesses of science, as its failure. I see this element of doubt as one of the finest qualities of science, as its real grandeur - the fact that one cannot rely upon absolute truth, and that one might be wrong. If only people could accept the idea that perhaps, they might be wrong, then this would put an end to political, moral, racial, and in particular all forms of religious fanaticism.
