Dr. Jerilynn Prior awarded 2019 Aubrey J. Tingle Prize

Internationally recognized women’s health researcher Dr. Jerilynn C. Prior becomes the tenth recipient of MSFHR’s Aubrey J. Tingle Prize.

The Aubrey J. Tingle Prize is awarded annually to a British Columbia clinician scientist whose work in health research is internationally recognized and has had a significant impact on advancing research in their field — as well as the uptake of this evidence — to improve health and the health system in BC and globally.

Dr. Prior’s research on menstrual cycles, the effects of ovulation and its disturbances on women’s later life osteoporotic fracture, heart attack and breast cancer risks has helped women in BC, across Canada and around the world. 

LifeSciencesBC created a short video highlighting Dr. Prior’s research.
