Who was Sheila Sherlock (1918–2001)?
Prof. Dame Sheila Sherlock started out in in the 1940s in hepatology when it was barely a field. She was a main driver for the forging of hepatology and, in a career spanning 60 years, became one of the world’s most famous names in clinical science.
Pioneering work like hers created a solid foundation on which the next generation of brilliant young hepatologists can build. Will you follow in her footsteps?
