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.

🌌 Last weekend, Green Templeton welcomed Nobel Prize-winning astronomer Professor Brian Schmidt for the latest event in our Astronomy for All series.
Professor Schmidt took a packed audience on a journey through more than 13 billion years of cosmic history, from the Big Bang to the distant future of the Universe. He explored what we know about the cosmos, how we know it and some of the biggest mysteries that remain.
The lecture was chaired by Governing Body Fellow Rob Fender, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and continued our celebration of Green Templeton’s connections with Oxford Astrophysics.
Our Oceania Alumni Group is on a roll after successful events in Sydney, Brisbane and last night in Perth.
We`re very thankful to the group`s committee for their energy, commitment and hard work in bringing the community together. It’s wonderful to see connections being strengthened, engagement growing, and the alumni community going from strength to strength.
Exciting times ahead!
If you would like to join a local alumni group, let us know!
Our EMBA and MBA alumni joined us on Friday for our last outdoor afternoon tea of the year.
Alumni from across the globe reunited with old friends, made new connections, and shared their career journeys since Oxford.
Our host, Vice Principal Professor Jonathan Reynolds, welcomed the group and shared the latest developments at Green Templeton College. Most importantly, he reminded them that here, they will always belong.
We can`t wait to welcome more of our community this week for Meeting Minds. We still have a few spaces for alumni wanting to join our college-based events (link in the comments).
