DEPUTY EDITORS
 

Olaf Dekkers MD, PhD, MSc, MA
Endocrinologist and Epidemiologist, Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands
He is employed at the Departments of Endocrinology and Clinical Epidemiology, Leiden University Medical Center. His research interests are endocrine diseases, meta-analysis and methodology of research. He works in close collaboration with the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine, Bern, Switzerland and with the Department of Clinical Epidemiology in Aarhus, Denmark.

Juliane Léger
Professor, Department of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes, Head, Reference Center for Rare Endocrine Growth Diseases, Robert Debré University Hospital, Paris, France
Her research interests include various aspects of thyroid and pituitary diseases management and long-term consequences of intrauterine malnutrition on growth, neurodevelopmental outcome and metabolic disorders.
Robert Semple
Professor of Translational Molecular Medicine, University of Edinburgh, UK
His clinical and research interests are in the role of disordered insulin action in disease, and in mechanisms underpinning adipose tissue resilience and plasticity across the life course. His principal approach is to focus on rare human acquired or monogenic disorders of insulin action. He also has a major interest in somatic mosaic activation of growth signalling pathways.
