London, United Kingdom, October 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The World Endometriosis Research Foundation (WERF) congratulates Professor Robert (Bob) Edwards for his outstanding scientific achievement.

WERF president, Dr G David Adamson, pays tribute to Professor Edwards: "His and Patrick Steptoe's research has resulted in an entire new reproductive technology that has brought increased understanding to human reproduction.

"Professor Edwards' work emphasizes the value of perseverance in research despite many obstacles in understanding difficult disease processes", said Dr Adamson.

176 million women globally suffer from endometriosis, and millions of these face infertility which, with pelvic pain, is the major consequence of endometriosis.

IVF has helped hundreds of thousands of infertile women with endometriosis to have babies. These women give their thanks to Bob Edwards for making this possible.

WERF is an international charity dedicated to research in endometriosis through large, multi-national clinical trials. WERF knows that IVF will continue to help infertile women with endometriosis have families, and expects its research will also continue to help those with endometriosis in the future.
