Hi,friends!
This week I going to speak about a winner of the Nobel Prize because of the development of in vitro fertilization, Robert G. Edwards.

But
how it works and what is the IVF, or “in vitro fertilization,”?
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process by which an egg
is fertilised
by sperm outside the body.This proces involves several steps. First, a woman is given
fertility drugs that stimulate her ovaries
to produce as many mature eggs as possible (instead of the usual one
per monthly cycle). Second, the eggs are retrieved using a suction
needle inserted into the ovary. Third, the eggs are fertilized by
combining them with sperm in a culture dish. Finally, the best-quality
embryos are transferred into a woman’s uterus. If all goes well, a
normal pregnancy is the result.
Robert Edwards is a famous name in the field of Reproductive
Medicine. The British received the Noble Prize in Medicine
or Physiology in the year 2010 for his development of in-vitro
fertilization (IVF). He was praised for his developments in treatment of
infertility.
Speakin about his live and his
academic career, I can say that he born in Manchester and Sir Edwards completed his studies
in agriculture from the University of Wales, Bangor. He also studied
subsequently in the Institute of Animal Genetics, University of
Edinburgh. Also he received his PhD in 1955. Sir Robert Edwards joined the
University of Cambridge in 1963.
Talking about the study relacionated in IVF, Sir Robert Edwards began to study human fertilization in 1960. In
1968 he was successful in fertilization of the human egg in a
laboratory. He collaborated with Patrick Steptoe, a
gynecologist to discover new possibilities of IVF. Steptoe recover ovocytes from infertile patients. Edwards
developed culture media to allow fertilization.
Sir Edwards made a breakthrough in medical history. The birth of
Louise Brown (world’s first test tube baby) give hope to all those
infertile who could not have a baby.
This is very important becouse he helped to all the womens that they have any problem and they can't have child. Afer the IVT the
women who could not have children only can adopt a baby or don't be mother.
