PGDIS mourn the passing of our Past-President, Sir Robert Edwards.
Professor Edwards was one of the founders of PGDIS and PGDIS President 2009-2011.
Dr. Edwards was IVF Pioneer and the Nobel Prize-winning scientist, who brought about the birth in 1978 of the first baby conceived through IVF. He also performed the first preimplantation genetic diagnosis in rabbits and contributed greatly to our understanding of human embryonic stem cells. We extend our condolences to his family, his colleagues in RBMO, members of our Society and his many friends around the world.
