Like it or not, artificial intelligence (AI) is here to stay, and its impact on both the science and practice of endocrinology will soon be quite evident. The ENDO 2024 Plenary session, “Artificial Intelligence in Health and Biomedical Research: The Future Is Now,” will no doubt answer many questions on the minds of endocrinologists in...
Science has shown that virtually all of us are exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) essentially as soon as we’re born … and even before! The ENDO 2024 symposium “Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals in Reproductive Endocrinology” looks at these impacts in three different sessions that look at EDCs prenatally, postnatally, and environmentally. When you head to Boston, Mass.,...
A first-of-its-kind session at ENDO 2024 will discuss healthcare management for the most underserved of the underserved: the incarcerated.

The Endocrine Society’s first all in-person annual conference since we were in New Orleans for ENDO 2019 has come and gone (as of this posting!) as thousands of endocrine professionals from around the world descended on the Windy City for four days of cutting-edge science as well as the opportunity to network and reconnect with...
Attendees at ENDO 2023 will have the opportunity to hear a unique perspective on a scientist’s career that flourished through academia, government, and industry. In her Meet the Scientist session, “A research career in government and industry, making sure drugs are safe and meaningful,” Cherie L. Butts, PhD, will not only detail her own career,...
The upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic led many of us to rethink aspects of our lives. At the Endocrine Society, this period gave us the chance to rethink many of our traditional approaches. While we are proud of the Society’s storied history, we balance that with continually thinking of new ways to serve you and...
As the recipient of the 2023 John D. Baxter Prize for Entrepreneurship, R. Scott Struthers, PhD, talks to Endocrine News about his life’s work seeking therapies to cure endocrine diseases, the progress of some of the current treatments in development, and how industry is strikingly similar to academia. Sometimes life comes in full circles. It...
Pediatric growth hormone deficiency treatments could soon be painless. Fernando Cassorla, MD, is traveling from Chile to Chicago to present research at ENDO 2023 that could potentially change the way pediatric hormone treatments are administered. If a pill could replace painful injections, patients and caregivers alike can finally wipe away their tears. A convenient, well...
