Christopher S. Kovacs, MD, is a Professor of Medicine
(Endocrinology and Metabolism), Obstetrics & Gynecology, and
BioMedical Sciences at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.
He obtained his MD and trained in Internal Medicine at Queen’s
University, and did his clinical fellowship in Endocrinology and
Metabolism at the University of Alberta. Dr. Kovacs did a
postdoctoral research fellowship in bone and mineral metabolism at
Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. His
clinical practice focuses on osteoporosis, disorders of bone
metabolism, thyroid disorders, and general endocrinology. His
basic, translational, and clinical research focuses on adaptations
in calcium and bone metabolism that occur during reproduction and
fetal development.
Dr. Kovacs has received over a dozen national and international
awards for excellence in research, including the 2003 Gold Medal in
Medicine from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of
Canada; the 2003 Young Investigator Award from the Canadian Society
of Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Young Investigator Awards from
the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research and Advances in
Mineral Metabolism (AIMM). He is also past President of AIMM. Cheri
Deal, PhD, MD, FRCPC retired as the Chief of Endocrinology and
Diabetes and tenured Full Professor at the Sainte-Justine
Mother-Child University of Montreal Hospital. Dr. Deal continues
teaching and research activities and has trained over 50 fellows
and residents, published ~150 publications and has completed
mandates as the President of the Canadian Society of Endocrinology
and Metabolism (CSEM), as Council Member for the Growth Hormone
Research Society, as the Training Director for the Royal College
program in Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes for the University
of Montreal and as site leader for the pan-Canadian Child Health
Clinical Scientist Training Program (CCHCSP) for many years; she
currently sits on the Education Committee of the Council of the
International Society of Endocrinology. She received the 2017
Robert Volpé CSEM Distinguished Service Award for her contributions
in clinical care, research, administration and teaching and belongs
to many prestigious societies.
"This new reference volume expands coverage of specific disorders and diseases beyond the current endocrinology content on the market, which in most cases has a paragraph or no mention at all about pregnancy or aspects of fetal/neonatal development." --Endocrine News
