ENDO 2011

BOSTON — The Endocrine Society has announced the recipients of the inaugural 2011 Early Investigators Awards. The awards were established to recognize the achievements of early career investigators in endocrine research, according to a press release issued by the society.

This year’s Early Investigators Awards were presented here at ENDO 2011. The winners are listed below.

• Madson Almeida, MD, PhD, is a staff physician/investigator at the Clinics Hospital and Cancer Institute of Sao Paulo, University of Sao Paulo Medical School. With a focus on pediatric endocrinology, Almeida's latest research is on adrenocortical tumorigenesis and the differences of its molecular mechanisms between children and adults. Almeida resides in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
• Krista Casazza, PhD, is an assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Her current work involves understanding the resource partitioning during critical periods of growth and development with primary focus on the bone fat interface. She is currently conducting an investigation of the contribution of bone marrow adipose tissue accrual to the bone-fat interface and the metabolic effects of this relationship in young children. Casazza resides in Birmingham, Alabama.
• Charles Harris, MD, PhD, is an adjunct assistant professor at the University of California, San Francisco, and a staff scientist at the J. David Gladstone Institute for Cardiovascular Disease. His current research aims to dissect the metabolic effects of glucocorticoids on molecular levels using cells and mice with alterations in glucocorticoid signaling. Harris resides in San Francisco, California.
• Mara Y. Roth, MD, is an acting instructor in the department of medicine at the University of Washington, School of Medicine. She is a physician-scientist focusing her research in male reproductive endocrinology, specifically the relative roles of gonadotropins in controlling testicular function, steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis. One goal of this research is the development of a reversible hormonal contraceptive for men. Roth resides in Seattle, Washington.
• Suraj Unniappan, PhD, is an assistant professor at the department of biology, York University in Toronto. His Laboratory of Integrative Neuroendocrinology focuses on two research themes: the endocrine regulation of energy homeostasis in mammals and the neuroendocrine integration of reproduction and metabolism in fish. Unniappan resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
