Manuela Simoni obtained her MD in 1982, followed by a specialisation in Endocrinology and Metabolism in 1985, from the University of Modena, Italy. In 1991 she completed a PhD in Endocrinology and Metabolism. Since 1990 she has been working at the Institute of Reproductive Medicine of the University of Münster, Germany, where she holds a Professorship for Endocrinology and Molecular Biology of Reproduction. Her research interests are gonadotropin and androgen action, testicular function,
