Pediatric Endocrinology
An Introduction to Pediatric Endocrinology
Paediatric endocrinology is a complex field incorporating many conditions such as over or under activity of the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands, type 1 diabetes and metabolic bone disease that affect the paediatric population. Collaboration between a multidisciplinary team of paediatric endocrinology specialists, adult endocrinologists and specialist nurses is important to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care.

We are delighted to announce Dr Stefano Passanisi as a touchENDOCRINOLOGY Future Leader 2026, recognized by peers as an emerging leader in pediatric endocrinology. Dr Stefano Passanisi is a pediatrician and clinical researcher at the University Hospital of Messina, Italy. Working ...
Dr Mindy Lee discusses mentorship, patient-centred care and the potential of diabetes technology to improve outcomes, sharing how clinical experiences inspire innovative, equitable solutions for children and young people.
At ECE 2026, Evelien Gevers discussed data showing DCCR reduced hyperphagia in Prader–Willi syndrome and remained generally safe in patients with pre-diabetes or diabetes, supporting broader clinical confidence and access.
New data presented at ENDO 2026 highlighted the continued evolution of endocrine care, with studies spanning rare disease management, long-term hormone replacement, artificial intelligence-supported screening and real-world treatment outcomes. Across several presentations, investigators reported sustained improvements in biochemical, metabolic, skeletal and patient-reported outcomes, while also emphasising the importance of long-term follow-up and careful interpretation of emerging data.
A new Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline recommends a more selective approach to diagnostic testing and treatment for children with suspected central precocious puberty (CPP), particularly in children whose early pubertal signs are mild or slowly progressive.1,2
Three-year extension data suggest sustained growth improvements with vosoritide in children with hypochondroplasia, although findings should be interpreted in the context of a small, responder-enriched extension population.
The FDA has granted accelerated approval to teplizumab-mzwv to delay the decline in endogenous insulin production in children aged 8–17 years recently diagnosed with stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D).1 The approval marks the first disease-modifying treatment option for this population.
In this expert perspective, Paul Dimitri explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping paediatric endocrinology, from interpreting growth data to supporting more personalized and inclusive care for children and families.
Drawing on the experience of expert faculty and emerging leaders who have already navigated many of the early hurdles when embarking on a career in endocrinology, we asked for one piece of career advice to share with those just starting out. Their reflections highlight the importance of curiosity, compassion, adaptability and purpose in building a fulfilling and sustainable career.
There is no doubt that artificial intelligence was one of the fastest-moving technologies of 2025. Advances in predictive analytics, pattern recognition across large datasets, and the integration of genomic, phenotypic and real-world data are already beginning to reshape how clinicians diagnose disease, stratify risk and personalise care. We asked some of the experts that have collaborated with touchENDOCRINOLOGY what excites them most about AI and how they see it influencing clinical practice.
As touchENDOCRINOLOGY approaches 22 years of providing education for busy endocrinologists, we are looking to the future—and it certainly looks bright! This year, we are celebrating our inaugural touchENDOCRINOLOGY Future Leaders to recognize the outstanding talent that has entered our ...
In this episode of Visionary Voices, we welcome Associate Professor Grace Vincent from CQUniversity’s Appleton Institute. A leading expert on sleep and shift work, Grace explores how disrupted sleep affects physician health in both the short and long term, as well as its impact on safety and performance. We also discuss what this means for patient outcomes and share practical strategies to manage sleep loss.
Dr Lindsey Gaston is a paediatric endocrinologist and physician-scientist at Boston Children’s Hospital, where she also completed her residency and fellowship in paediatric endocrinology. Her research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of prolonged adrenal suppression following long-term glucocorticoid therapy, ...
