Nobel Prize for the father of IVF
Finally! With a 30-year delay!
Nobel Prize for the father of IVF
Robert Edwards, the father of ‘In-Vitro’ Fertilisation (IVF), receives the Nobel Prize in Medicine
The British scientist Robert Edwards was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2010 for his breakthrough in in-vitro fertilization.
He receives this award at the age of 84 and after more than 30 years after the first successful fertilization of a child in the laboratory. At that time, the event was considered a real medical revolution, because his method for the first time made it possible to treat infertility!
Since then, they have been four million children born – thanks to in-vitro fertilization.
