[交流] 【Share】Fertility scientist wins 2010 Nobel for medicine

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- Robert Edwards from Britain won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday.


British physiologist Robert Edwards attends the 30th birthday celebrations of Bourn Hall, a fertility clinic he co-founded in Cambridge in a July 12, 2008 file photo


He was awarded the prize for "his development of in-vitro fertilization," said Goran Hansson, Secretary of the Nobel Committee at Sweden's Karolinska Institute.

Edwards from Cambridge University was the man who started the final work to develop methods of fertilizing eggs outside of a woman's body, together with Patrick Steptoe who died in 1988, the Nobel Committee said.

The so-called tube baby technology contributes to about four million babies in the world so far, according to the Nobel Committee.

The winners of the physics prize will be announced on Tuesday, to be followed by those for chemistry on Wednesday, literature on Thursday, peace on Friday and economics next Monday.

The annual Nobel Prizes are usually announced in October and are handed out on Dec. 10, the anniversary of the 1896 death of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist and the inventor of dynamite.

Nobel died childless and dedicated his vast fortune to create "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind."

The prizes have been awarded since 1901. Each prize consists of a medal, a personal diploma and a cash award of 10 million Swedish kronor(about 1.6 million U.S. dollars).
