Every year, around 30 Nobel Laureates from the fields of physiology or medicine, physics, chemistry and the economic sciences spend a week in the Lake Constance area to meet the next generation of leading scientists at a meeting organized by the Council and Foundation for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. In honor of former Vallee Foundation Board Member Eddy Fischer (1920-2021), the Vallee Foundation has helped gifted, motivated and productive young scientists to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings in the life sciences.
Through his long and close friendship with Bert Vallee, Eddy Fischer became an original member of the Board of Directors of the Vallee Foundation and regularly participated in Foundation events. He and his collaborator, Edwin G Krebs, are best known for their discovery of reversible protein phosphorylation, a fundamental regulatory mechanism in cells, for which they received the 1992 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Eddy will also be remembered for his insatiable curiosity, encyclopedic memory, urbanity, and generosity. His enthusiasm, wit, and musical prowess charmed all he met. He particularly cared about sharing his experience with young scientists and learning from them in return. Income from the Eddy Fischer Fellowship Fund at the Lindau-Nobel Foundation will support young people attending Lindau-Nobel Laureate meetings in Chemistry, and Physiology or Medicine, as well as the interdisciplinary meetings.
