Simon E. Fisher is a British geneticist and neuroscientist who has pioneered research into the genetic basis of human speech and language.[1][2] He is a director of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and professor of language and genetics at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour (Nijmegen, The Netherlands).[3][4] Prior to this he was a Royal Society Research Fellow leading a group at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics at Oxford University. He was co-discoverer of FOXP2, the first gene to be implicated in a human speech and language disorder.[5][6][7] His subsequent research has used FOXP2 and other language-related genes[8] as molecular windows into neural pathways critical for language.[9] Awards and prizes in recognition of this work include the Francis Crick Lecture in 2008[10] and the inaugural Eric Kandel Young Neuroscientists Prize in 2009.[11]
