Email Announcement

It is with great sadness that we would like to inform you about the death 
of Prof. Jennifer Dorrington on September 30 2001, after a long battle 
against cancer.

Jennifer  was educated in Sheffield, England, and came to the Banting and 
Best Department of Medical Research, Toronto, in 1971, where she first 
worked together with Irving Fritz on the regulation of Sertoli cell steroid 
production. Later she established her own group at the Banting and Best and 
became interested in ovarian physiology. Jennifer has been a long time 
member of the SSR and has served on several committees.

It has been a privilege to me to have known Jennifer Dorrington and 
collaborated closely with her for so many years. She will be greatly missed 
by us all.

On behalf of the family,

Katja J. Teerds
