​Message from the President

PictureDra. Maricela Luna Muñoz
Dear NASCE members,
It is a great honor for me to serve you as the president of the North American Society for Comparative Endocrinology (NASCE; Societé Nord-Americaine d’Endocrinologie Comparée (SNAEC); Sociedad Norteamericana de Endocrinologìa Comparada (SNAEC)) for next two years. I would also like to congratulate Dr. Chris Martynuk (USA), who has been elected as our Vice President/President-Elect (2025-2027), and Dr. Jean-Paul Paluzzi (Canada), who will continue to serve as the Secretary-Treasurer. We will work together as a team to support this society’s mission, and to promote collaboration among researchers from Canada, the United States, and Mexico. We will continue to the support studies in comparative studies of hormones across diverse species, which has laid the foundation for modern fields, including evolutionary, environmental, and biomedical endocrinology, as well as neuroendocrinology.

Founders of Comparative Endocrinology

PictureFounders: Bern & Gorbman
​​Endocrinology is a field of biology that investigates chemical messages, known as hormones, which are secreted into circulation (i.e. the blood) by specialized endocrine organs.  Hormonal messengers typically exert slow, long-lasting effects on their target organ at a distance.  Comparative endocrinology is the study of hormones and their activities in diverse species, spanning vertebrates and invertebrates alike.
The field of comparative endocrinology was founded by two prominent scientists, Dr. Aubrey Gorbman and Dr. Howard Bern, who together .... (for details, please click).
