On behalf of the EYRC, Dr Mario Detomas interviewed Dr Linus Haberbosch during the Annual Meeting of the German Society of Endocrinology (DGE), held in Baden-Baden in March 2025.Dr Haberbosch is the newly appointed Head of the Pituitary Unit at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, one of the leading reference centres for pituitary diseases in Europe.In this interview, Dr Haberbosch shared with us his perspective on the current challenges and opportunities in pituitary medicine, as well as his personal journey as a clinician scientist. He gave valuable advice for young endocrinologists on how to develop a career in the field, how to navigate the academic and clinical environment, and how to find balance between professional and personal life.It was a true pleasure to interview Dr Linus Haberbosch, and we hope that his experience and insights will inspire and support young clinician scientists in their own career paths in Endocrinology!

Here is a new series of interviews with early/mid-career investigators! We hope this will help young neuroendocrinologists grow and find inspiration for setting up collaborations.For our inaugural interview, on behalf of the EYRC, Dr. Cihan Atila interviewed Dr. Nicole Bechmann shortly after the past ESE Summer School, held in Innsbruck, Austria in June 2024.Research FocusDr. Nicole Bechmann investigates adrenal gland tumors and their role in endocrine hypertension disorders such as primary aldosteronism, Cushing’s syndrome, and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. Her work explores the interplay between genetics, metabolism, adrenal hormones, and sexual dimorphism to understand tumor formation and progression. Combining clinical studies with basic research, her goal is to improve diagnosis and develop better therapies for adrenal tumors. ExpertiseDr. Bechmann specializes in adrenal physiology, tumor biology, and catecholamine and steroid metabolism. She utilizes advanced cell line models, including 2D, 3D, and flow-through systems, to study pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma, and adrenocortical carcinoma. Her work includes gene editing techniques like CRISPR/Cas9 for functional validation of genetic variants, studies of small molecule inhibitors, and investigations into tumor cell metabolism, migration, and invasion. These multidisciplinary approaches aim to advance our understanding of adrenal tumors and identify novel therapeutic targets.It was a pleasure to interview Dr. Bechmann, and we hope her insights will aid in developing your career!
On behalf of the EYRC, Dr. Giampaolo Trivellin interviewed Dr. Federico Gatto during the XI Annual Meeting on Pituitary Tumors that took place in Rome, Italy, on 28-29 November 2024.Federico Gatto is an Assistant Professor at Università degli Studi di Genova - Department of Internal Medicine & Medical Specialties in Genova, Italy. He is currently a member of the Executive committee (ExCo) of ENEA and a founding member of our committee, EYRC!During the interview, Dr. Gatto shared his journey from being a founding member of EYRC to his current role in the ENEA ExCo. He also discussed about the importance of EYRC in fostering young researchers and scientific collaboration and his transition to the ExCo and its impact on the ENEA community.Finally, he shared with us his groups' latest research on somatostatin receptor expression in pituitary tumors and their ongoing study on body composition and sarcopenia in acromegaly and Cushing’s disease (references are provided at the end of the Description).It was a privilege to interview Dr. Gatto, and we hope you enjoyed listening to his interview as much as we did!📌 Don’t miss this engaging discussion on career development, mentorship, and cutting-edge research in endocrinology!🔔 Subscribe for more interviews and scientific discussions!#Endocrinology #Neuroendocrinology #PituitaryTumors #ENEA #EYRC #YoungResearchers #MedicalResearch #Acromegaly #CushingsDisease📢 Stay Connected with EYRC!Join the ENEA Young Researchers Committee (EYRC) community and stay updated on the latest research, events, and opportunities!
