Cambridge professor receives top award for outstanding research in endocrinology

Congratulations to Krishna Chatterjee, Director of the NIHR Cambridge Clinical Research Facility and Professor of Endocrinology at the University of Cambridge, who has been awarded the Gerald D. Aurbach Award for Outstanding Translational Research from the Endocrine Society.

Prof Chatterjee is one of 14 leading endocrinologists who were selected for the Society’s prestigious 2025 Laureate Awards, which recognise the highest achievements in endocrinology research and care, and which are regarded as the highest honours in the field.

Prof Chatterjee was awarded for his research on genetic and molecular endocrinology, exploring disorders including resistance to thyroid hormone and PPARgamma gene defects associated with lipodystrophic insulin resistance.

He said: “It is a privilege to accept this award which also represents the efforts of many clinical and scientist colleagues as well as patients taking part in our research, without whom our contributions to advancing knowledge and changing health outcomes in endocrine disorders would not have been possible.”

The Endocrine Society will present the awards to the winners at ENDO 2025, the Society’s annual meeting, being held next July 12-15 in San Francisco.
