British hepatologist (b. March 18, 1918, Dublin, Ire.—d. Dec. 30, 2001, London, Eng.), was one of the world's leading authorities on diseases of the liver and served as professor of medicine (1959–83) at London's Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, where the distinguished liver clinic and research centre was named in her honour. Sherlock received (1941) her medical degree from the University of Edinburgh. During her long career she did breakthrough research on different forms of hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. She published hundreds of papers; edited several periodicals, notably the European Journal of Hepatology and the journal of the British Society of Gastroenterology, of which she was president; and wrote the classic textbook Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System (1955; 11th ed., 2001). Sherlock was appointed DBE in 1978 and was made a fellow of the Royal Society in 2001.
