Integrative and Clinical Endocrinology and Reproduction Study Section [ICER]

[ICER Membership Roster] [ICER Meeting Rosters]


The Integrative and Clinical Endocrinology and Reproduction Study Section [ICER] reviews applications that focus on the physiology and pathophysiology of endocrine systems involving neurophysiological, molecular, biochemical, and cellular approaches. Emphasis is on clinical endocrine and reproductive science investigations. Specific areas covered by ICER:

  • Growth, development, and disorders of endocrine organs: hypothalamic, pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, and pathophysiology; mechanisms of puberty; endocrine-organ neoplasia; endocrine autoimmunity and immunobiology.
  • Neuroendocrinology: reproductive neuroendocrinology including development and mechanisms of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis; anterior pituitary hormones; neurophysiology of hormones.
  • Disorders of the female and male reproductive system: pathophysiology, mechanisms, and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, hypogonadism, precocious puberty, pituitary adenomas, leiomyomas, and uterine fibroids.
  • Endocrinology of aging: menopause; end-organ analysis; mechanisms of endocrine longevity of reproductive organs.
  • Mammary gland development: maturation and physiology; hormonal control of lactation; prolactin.

Study sections with most closely related areas of similar science listed in rank order are:

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology [MCE] 
Cellular, Molecular and Integrative Reproduction [CMIR]
Clinical and Integrative Diabetes and Obesity [CIDO]
Neuroendocrinology, Neuroimmunology and Behavior [NNB]
Tumor Cell Biology [TCB]
