Future Innovation Awards Honors Groundbreaking Innovations

The main award went to Yvonne Lundberg Giwercman, a professor at Lund University's Faculty of Medicine, for developing a patient-specific IVF test that significantly improves fertility treatment outcomes. The test analyzes genetic data to tailor hormone therapies for individual patients-a capability that doesn't exist today. "Research shows that women receiving genetically adapted hormone therapy have a 38% higher chance of having a baby compared to those who don't," said Lundberg Giwercman. The innovation could make IVF treatments more effective and accessible for countless couples struggling with infertility.
