The Society makes several awards at the Society for Endocrinology BES conference. Here, we recognise the talent of endocrinologists at all career stages.

EARLY CAREER PRIZE LECTURERS 2017

Two members are selected per year by the Nominations Committee.

Science lecturer

Caroline Gorvin (Oxford)

Insights into GPCR trafficking and biased signalling by studies of calcium homeostasis

Clinical lecturer

Jackie Maybin (Edinburgh)

The role of hypoxia in the physiology and pathology of menstruation

JOURNAL AWARD WINNERS 2017

Five awards are made each year to recognise excellence in endocrine research and practice by noting authors’ contributions to the wider field of biomedicine and biological sciences. The winners are the authors of the highest ranked papers selected by the Editorial Board from those published in Society journals.
