Two Harvard Medical School faculty members recently received awards from the Endocrine Society.
Andrew Dauber, assistant professor of pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital, received a 2014 Early Investigators Award for Accomplishments in Endocrine Research. Dauber serves as the assistant medical director for the Clinical and Translational Study Unit at Boston Children’s. He is interested in rare genetic causes of growth disorders and the use of next-generation sequencing technologies to understand pediatric endocrine disorders.
The Early Investigators Awards were established to recognize the achievements of early-career investigators in endocrine research.
Glenn Rowe, instructor in medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, received a Future Leaders Advancing Research in Endocrinology (FLARE) Internship award. His research focuses on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying metabolism in the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular system.
The FLARE program provides training and professional development opportunities for underrepresented minority senior graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and clinical research fellows in hormone health research. FLARE is supported by the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).
This year’s Early Investigators and FLARE awards were presented at the joint meeting of the International Society of Endocrinology and the Endocrine Society in Chicago on June 21-24.
The Endocrine Society is the world’s oldest, largest and most active organization devoted to research on hormones and the clinical practice of endocrinology.
