In Loving Memory of

Professor Josephine Arendt

Sadly my mentor and friend passed away on 4th September 2023.

At the University of Surrey in 1984, she had the courage to employ me as a postdoc researcher, without an interview and without me having my PhD! I was very fortunate to have Jo teach me the mysteries of the pineal galnd and melatonin. She was a true pioneer, demonstrating for the first time the use of melatonin in jet lag, in blindness and in delayed sleep wake disorder. 

She was caring, kind, generous and wise.

I have created this Condolence Book so that colleagues and friends can share their thoughts and memories of Jo. 

She changed my life! She was my guiding star!

With great sadness I have learnt about the sudden and unexpected death of Professor Jo Arendt. I shall always remember Jo as a true scholar, an inspiring scientist and an outstanding ambassador of pineal and biological rhythm research in Europe and as friend. I shall miss Jo and our discussions about biological rhythms research in the real world, often while having a cigarette in the breaks of conferences. Rest in peace, Jo Yours Horst…
