October 4, 2010 Robert Edwards Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, father of IVF
On October 4, 2010 (August 27, 2010 in the lunar calendar), Robert Edwards, the father of IVF, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. On July 25, 1978, with the birth of the world's first "test-tube baby" in the UK, this technology was called a miracle in the history of medicine, creating a new era in the field of reproductive medicine. Robert Edwards, the "father of test-tube babies", also won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Robert G.Edwards, a professor at Cambridge University and a British physiologist, is known as the "father of test-tube babies." Graduated from the University of North Wales in agriculture and zoology in 1948; obtained a postgraduate degree in animal genetics from the University of Edinburgh in 1955; engaged in research on reproductive physiology from 1956 to 1978 and successfully gave birth to the world's first test-tube baby; From 1983 to 1984, he founded the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology and founded the magazine Human Reproduction; In 2001, he was awarded the American Albert Lasker Medical Research Award for his outstanding achievements in the field of human infertility treatment. He won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his creation of in vitro fertilization technology. Robert? Edwards was born in Manchester, England in 1925. After completing military service in World War II, he entered the University of Wales and the University of Edinburgh to study biology. In 1955, he received a doctorate in his thesis on mouse embryo development. In 1958, he became a researcher at the British National Institute of Medicine and began research on the human fertilization process. Since 1963, Edwards has worked at Cambridge University and BournHall Clinic (the world's first in vitro fertilization center). Bourn Hall was established by Edwards and Patrick Steptoe, with Edwards serving as its research director for many years. Edwards is also the editor of several leading journals in the field of insemination research. Edwards is currently an emeritus professor at Cambridge University. Because of his outstanding contribution to human in vitro fertilization (IVF) therapy, Robert? Robert Edwards won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. His contribution has made it possible to treat infertility, which has benefited mankind, including more than 10% of couples around the world. As early as 1950, Edwards believed that IVF could help treat infertility. Through systematic research work, he discovered the important principles of human fertilization and successfully achieved fertilization of human egg cells in test tubes (or rather, cell culture dishes). On July 25, 1978, the birth of the world's first test-tube baby was the best recognition of Edwards 'unremitting efforts. Over the next few years, Edwards and his colleagues improved IVF and shared it with the world. So far, approximately four million people have been born as a result of IVF, many of whom are now adults and some have even become parents. In Robert? Under Edwards 'leadership, many important discoveries were made in the research on IVF therapy, and a new medical field was born. His contribution represents another milestone in the history of modern medicine. The Karolinska Institute of Medicine in Sweden announced on October 4 that it will award the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Robert Edwards, a British physiologist known as the father of test-tube babies. Edwards, 85, received the award for creating in vitro fertilization technology. Edwards is now an honorary professor at the University of Cambridge in the UK. In vitro fertilization technology is commonly known as IVF technology. Edwards began researching in vitro fertilization in 1958 and won the Nobel Prize in 2010. "I think Edwards won the award as expected. I wonder why this award came so late?" Said Martin Johnson, a scientist who once worked with Edwards at Cambridge University. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine review committee said Edwards 'research could help eliminate the problems faced by 10% of infertile couples around the world. Robert Edwards gave the world's first test-tube baby
