In this 40th anniversary year of the first IVF live birth, it is pertinent to look at all those teams endeavouring to generate live births from this unique technology and who succeeded within 4 years of the first. There were 9 teams who achieved this and a further 3 who were successful soon after, by the end of 1982. This historical review is compiled by 2 authors who were actively engaged in the field of IVF at the time of the first birth and who have remained active in Reproductive Medicine throughout their professional lives. They bring intimate and relevant knowledge of those pioneer researchers from the early years who can be classified as the "Founding Pioneers" of IVF.
在首例试管婴儿活产诞生40周年之际，审视所有那些致力于通过这项独特技术实现活产且在首例之后4年内取得成功的团队是很有意义的。有9个团队做到了这一点，另有3个团队在1982年底不久后也取得了成功。这篇历史回顾由两位作者编撰，他们在首例试管婴儿诞生时就积极投身于试管婴儿领域，并且在整个职业生涯中一直活跃于生殖医学领域。他们带来了对那些早期先锋研究者的深入且相关的了解，这些研究者可被归类为试管婴儿的“创始先驱”。
