Steptoe and Edwards

Steptoe and Edwards were pioneering British scientists who developed the first successful method of in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Their collaboration led to the birth of Louise Brown in 1978, the world's first "test-tube baby." Steptoe, a gynecologist, specialized in reproductive medicine, while Edwards, a biologist, focused on the fertilization process. Together, they created techniques to fertilize eggs outside the human body and implant them into the uterus, revolutionizing infertility treatment. Their work has provided hope to millions of couples facing fertility challenges worldwide.
