Sir Robert Geoffrey Edwards (27 September 1925 – 10 April 2013) was a British scientist who won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work in developing in vitro fertilisation (IVF).[1][2] This method is sometimes called making "test tube babies".
He began work on his ideas in the 1950s, and the first test tube baby, Louise Brown, was born on 25 July 1978.[2] His research partner from 1968 was Patrick Steptoe (1913–1988).[3] By 2010, more than 4 million babies had been born using the IVF method.[4]
