Memorial service to be held for Professor Andrew Wyllie
Fellow to be remembered in St John’s College Chapel on 04 February 2023
A memorial service for Professor Andrew Wyllie FRS, FRSE, F.Med.Sci., Fellow of St John’s College and Emeritus University Professor of Pathology, will be held in the College Chapel on Saturday 4 February 2023 at noon.
Professor Wyllie FRS, who died on 26 May 2022, aged 78, was part of a team of researchers at the University of Aberdeen who discovered ‘apoptosis’ – the process of cell death. Apoptosis, which in Greek translates as the falling of leaves from a tree, plays a critical role in preventing cancer. Professor Wyllie’s award-winning work helped open a new field of study with wide significance in biology and medicine.
After the service, refreshments will be served in the Hall.
