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.
A wonderful evening for the Green Templeton community in Sydney. It is always special to see alumni reconnecting and making new connections wherever they are in the world.
Thank you to Oceania Group and everyone who joined the group’s inaugural annual dinner.
The group’s next gathering takes place in Brisbane on Tuesday 8 September – another welcome opportunity for our alumni and friends in the region to connect.
A great start to what we hope will become a growing tradition for the college`s community across Oceania.

Alumni in Switzerland came together in Geneva on Swiss National Day for the first in-person gathering of our college`s Switzerland Alumni Group.
After the group’s inaugural online meeting earlier in the year, the gathering was a chance to finally put faces to names, reconnect over memories of Green Templeton and Oxford and hear where life has taken everyone since.
Conversation ranged from career paths and professional exchanges to life in Switzerland and ideas for the growing alumni group.
Josephine Agyeman-Duah (DPhil Women’s and Reproductive Health, 2018), Chair of the Alumni Group, said:
‘It was splendid to reconnect with GTC alumni from different periods and to celebrate Swiss National Day together in Geneva. Our first in-person gathering was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen connections and our GTC alumni community in Switzerland.’
The group is now looking to establish a committee and hopes to connect with other Oxford and Cambridge alumni groups in Switzerland.

Happy International Cat Day! 🐾
It’s been quite the year for Vincent!
After several years of making the college his home, we are delighted to say that we have officially adopted him. A familiar and much-loved face around the college grounds, he has a special way of bringing smiles to everyone he meets.
We’re so proud to officially call him ours!
Happy International Cat Day, Vincent! 💚🐈⬛
✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
