Francesco Redi (18 February 1626 – 1 March 1697) was an Italian physician, naturalist, biologist and poet. He is referred to as the 'founder of experimental biology', and as the 'father of modern parasitology'. He was the first person to challenge the theory of spontaneous generation by demonstrating that maggots come from eggs of flies.
