Professor Ashley Grossman wins Endocrine Society’s Outstanding Mentor Award
Professor Ashley Grossman, a Research Fellow of Green Templeton College, has won the Outstanding Mentor Award at the Endocrine Society’s 2020 Laureate Awards.
The awards, which have been running for more than 70 years, recognise the highest achievements of leading endocrine researchers and clinicians worldwide, working to unravel the mysteries of hormone disorders to care for patients and cure diseases.
Professor Grossman’s Outstanding Mentor Award reflects a career commitment to mentoring and making a positive impact on mentees’ education and careers.
“I am delighted and honoured to be given this award by the prestigious Endocrine Society,” he said.
“It has been my privilege to work with so many hard-working and dedicated medical students, young doctors and research fellows from around the world whose enthusiasm has never failed to encourage me. It has also been enormous fun!”
The Endocrine Society said Professor Grossman had been honoured for leveraging his “many years of patient-related experience and detailed knowledge of basic science to train hundreds of the world’s leading endocrinologists.”
He has also provided considerable support to underprivileged fellows and physicians from Asia and Africa, and organised annual training sessions for a new generation of endocrinologists in Central Asia.
The Endocrine Society’s President, E. Dale Abel, said: “Our Laureate Awards celebrate the most remarkable endocrinologists in the world, whose transformative research, mentorship, public service and translation of science to practice has earned them a place in endocrine history. These, our highest awards, recognise endocrine scientists and clinicians at the pinnacle of the field as well as young endocrinologists who are blazing trails and emerging as our future leaders.”
Professor Grossman graduated in Psychology from the University of London, continuing on to study Neurosciences and then Medicine at University College London. He is currently Professor of Endocrinology at the University of Oxford, Professor of Neuroendocrinology at Barts and the London School of Medicine, and Consultant NET Endocrinologist at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
He will be given his award at ENDO 2020, the Society’s annual meeting, which takes place in San Francisco, California, from 28 to 31 March 2020. Twelve other leading endocrinologists will also be honoured at the event.
The Radcliffe Observatory is having a conservation makeover...
Behind the printed wrap is a complex network of poles and platforms, giving specialist teams access to every part of this remarkable building.
The Observatory is now undergoing a new phase of work that combines careful conservation of its historic fabric with major environmental upgrades.
Protecting one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks for generations to come. 🏛️
Over the past week, we have celebrated the extraordinary Green Templeton community through events, volunteering, competitions, challenges and fundraising for student support. It has been wonderful to see alumni, fellows, supporters, friends, staff and students coming together to show our support for students.
From the Garden Party and the Photography Competition, to the Memory Wall and Biscuit Decorating Competition, the week has been filled with moments that reflect the warmth, inclusivity and spirit of our college.
Thank you to everyone who made a gift, attended an event, volunteered their time or followed along throughout the week. Together, we have raised over £65,000 for student support. These gifts will help students pursue opportunities, navigate financial pressures, participate fully in college life and thrive during their time at Oxford.

📸 Congratulations to Sophia Hall (MSc Medical Anthropology, 2025), winner of the Green Templeton College 2026 Photography Competition!
Sophia`s reflection on Vincent captured perfectly the sense of belonging that so many people find at Green Templeton.
A huge thank you to everyone who entered the competition and to everyone who voted. Your support also helped unlock £1,000 of funding as part of our Community & Giving Week challenge!
What a way to start Community & Giving Week 🤩
Saturday`s Garden Party brought together alumni, fellows, friends from across the UK and beyond to celebrate one another and support current and future students.
On the day, many shared their college memories on our `memory wall` - from today on display in the Stables Bar.
We are now asking our global community to share their memories of Green, Templeton and Green Templeton, and help us unlock an additional £1,000 for student support once we reach 50 memories.
You can email development@gtc.ox.ac.uk with a picture or share a video or audio via the link in the comments.
