The Endocrine Society has appointed Manuel Tena-Sempere, MD, PhD, of the University of Cordoba in Spain, as the next editor-in-chief of its flagship basic science journal, Endocrinology, starting January 2026.
Manuel Tena-Sempere is a professor of physiology at the University of Cordoba, a research group leader at the biomedical research institute of Cordoba (IMIBIC) and a principal investigator at the Spanish network of Research on Obesity and Nutrition (CIBEROBN) in Cordoba, Spain.
“I am pleased to announce Dr. Tena-Sempere as our next editor-in-chief of Endocrinology and to see his vision for the journal come to life,” said Endocrine Society President John Newell-Price, MD, PhD, FRCP. “His stature in the field and innovative ideas will bring in even more high-quality basic research papers from around the world.”
Tena-Sempere’s area of expertise is the neuroendocrinology of reproduction and metabolism, with a focus on the neurohormonal and molecular mechanisms for the control of puberty and fertility in mammals, and their modulation by metabolic signals and obesity.
He has been active in mentoring young scientists and leading educational and scientific programs at European and American endocrine societies. He has published more than 380 articles in international peer-reviewed journals, including 67 papers published in Endocrinology since 1993, and has served as editor of more than 15 scientific journals, including associate editor of Endocrinology (2013-2017).
“I am excited to step into the role as editor-in-chief of Endocrinology and to build on the journal’s mission to showcase foundational endocrine research,” Tena-Sempere says. “I am honored to continue Endocrinology’s work promoting rigorous research and fostering scientific collaboration.”
