Congratulations to Dr Eleanor Raffan, who was recently announced as the 2027 recipient of the Society for Endocrinology Starling Medal for Early Career Research Excellence.
The medal is awarded, on an annual basis, to honour an emerging outstanding basic, clinical or translational scientist who is a member of the Society and whose work has contributed to exceptional scientific advances in endocrinology.
Candidates are normally expected to hold an academic position at a UK or Ireland academic institution and to have carried out the majority of the work that forms the basis of the nomination in the UK or Ireland. They are expected to be further advanced than the recipients of the Emerging Researcher Prize Lectures and normally less established/advanced than the Mid Career Medal for Research Excellence recipient.
Awardees will give a plenary at the following SfE BES (March 2027) where the medal will be presented. An honorarium will also be given.
Dr Eleanor Raffan
