Professor Luigi Mastroianni Jr was awarded the prize for his discovery in his research on the effects of reproductive hormones on the ovulation process that clomiphene activates the ovulation process in monkeys, which can be applied to humans, which led to increased fertilization in women. He studied the functions of the fallopian tubes, and acquired knowledge of what fluids secrete, which are the necessary fluids for the success of the natural fertilization process when the egg and sperm fuse. He established the largest center for fertilization of eggs outside the body in the United States, and trained specialists in the treatment of infertility from all over the world.
