European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology

It is with deep sadness that we announce the premature death of our dear colleague Professor Fabienne Rance.

Professor Rance carved out a magnificent career in the field of pediatric allergy and in food allergy. She authored or co-authored more than 250 articles in medical journals and contributed with more than 50 chapters textbooks. Due to her outstanding work in the field she gave more than 200 invited lectures at national and international congresses.

She was the first woman to serve as Editor of Revue Francaise d'Allergologie the French National Allergy Society Journal.

Her exceptional dedication to the field did not go unnoticed by her patients and colleagues who admired her dedication to research in an effort to improve the quality of life for all who suffered from this afflicting disease.

For those who had the privilege to be in her presence, if only for a short while, will remember her elegance, intelligence, and her passion towards her work. She has given to all of us a distinguished legacy that we will cherish long into the future.
