Professor Stephen O’Rahilly honoured with the Berthold Medal
Congratulations to Professor Stephen O’Rahilly of the Institute of Metabolic Science-Metabolic Research Laboratories who has been honoured with the prestigious Berthold Medal for his work in Endocrinology. The award was given at the 68th German Congress of Endocrinology on 20th March, following Professor O’Rahilly’s keynote Berthold lecture on “ Adventures in Endocrinology, Metabolism and Behaviour”.
The Berthold Medal is the highest award presented once a year by the German Society of Endocrinology (DGE). It is named after the German scientist Arnold Adolf Berthold (1803-1861), who is regarded as a pioneer of hormone research. Berthold’s research was the first to prove the existence of hormones. With the medal, the DGE honours international hormone researchers who continue Berthold’s legacy with their ground-breaking findings.
Professor O’Rahilly is Professor of Clinical Biochemistry and Medicine at Cambridge University Director of the Medical Research Council Metabolic Diseases Unit, Scientific Director of the Cambridge NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and honorary consultant physician at Cambridge University Hospitals Foundation Trust at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
