Univ. Prof. Dr. Wilfried Feichtinger, geb. 1950, Geschäftsführer des Wiener Instituts Wunschbaby-Zentrum Institut für Kinderwunsch , gehört zu den weltweit führenden Reproduktionsmedizinern: 1982 Erstes IVF-Baby Österreichs. 1990 Einführung der laserunterstützten Schlüpfhilfe zur leichteren Eizellen-Einnistung. 2000 erste Ultraschall-live-3D-Sicht auf reife Eizellen. 2005 mit Univ.
