Endocrine and Metabolic Systems Review Branch – EMS

Chief
Review Branch Summary
The Endocrine and Metabolic Systems Review Branch is led by Dr. Elaine Sierra-Rivera. EMS reviews applications addressing molecular, cellular, and higher order hormone-regulated processes in physiology and pathophysiology. EMS will evaluate applications on basic and clinical aspects of hypothalamic, pituitary, gonadal, thyroid, and adrenal physiology and pathophysiology, diabetes mellitus (including its pathogenesis, complications and treatment), the biology of the pancreatic islet (beta cell), adipocyte biology, obesity (including its causes and treatment), and other metabolic disorders including inborn errors of metabolism and nutrient transport disorders. Also reviewed in this Review Branch are applications addressing the biology of reproduction and the pathobiology of its disorders (including the causes and treatments of infertility); male and female reproductive aging and menopause; obstetrical disorders of implantation, gestation, embryogenesis, and parturition; disorders of fetal and neonatal life; and gynecologic conditions are reviewed in this Review Branch. Studies of the role of nutrition under normal and pathological conditions are also reviewed in this Review Branch.
