Professor Stephen O’Rahilly was recently awarded the Berthold Medal at the 68th German Congress of Endocrinology held in Baden Baden last week.
The award took place as part of the Berthold Lecture on 20th March, in which Stephen gave an insight into his scientific work with his 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.
