The Endocrine Society is proud of its many distinguished members who lead the global endocrine community by advancing scientific knowledge, providing exemplary care, teaching the next generation of endocrinologists, and improving human health worldwide.
For more than 80 years, the Society has recognized the achievements of its members with the annual Laurate Awards. Established in 1944, the awards recognize the field’s highest accomplishments in areas of research, service, leadership, mentorship, innovation, international contributions, education, translation of bench to bedside, and lifetime achievement.
Laureate winners represent all stages of the profession, from those at the pinnacle of the field to young endocrinologists just starting their careers.
In the following pages, you can learn about our 2026 Laureates. We’ve also asked them to describe how the Endocrine Society has helped shape their careers as well as what advice they have for those aspiring, early-career endocrinologists.
The winners will be recognized at ENDO 2026 in Chicago, Illinois, June 13-16, 2026.
Bradley David Anawalt, MD
Outstanding Educator Award
This annual award recognizes exceptional achievement as an educator in the discipline of endocrinology and metabolism.
Bradley David Anawalt, MD, is Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Wash.
His long tenure at the University of Washington is marked by regular citations for excellence in teaching, and he has received most of the major awards that his institution gives for medical education. He has been a leader in the Endocrinology Fellowship program at the UW as well as Endocrine Days, an outstanding quarterly meeting of endocrinologists in the Pacific Northwest that has been held for nearly 40 years.
He is a world expert in andrology and the diagnosis and treatment of male hypogonadism. He also is a dedicated teacher, known for his ability to convey not only factual material, but a sense of collegiality and joy in learning among his students.

He’s also a regular presenter at ENDO where he has contributed scientific presentations, plenary lectures, work as a session chair, and meeting planning.
From Nominations:
“It is difficult for me to name another society member who has dedicated more energy and spirit to teaching and learning endocrinology at our meetings than Brad Anawalt. Besides the international audience who learn from Brad at ENDO meetings, his well-deserved reputation has come with invitations to speak around the world, such as Canada, Vietnam, India, Australia, China, Russia…
“For those who have attended a Brad Anawalt event, the combination of enthusiasm, goodwill, objectivity, and intellectual rigor is unmistakable. His passion and curiosity are contagious, and his presentations convey not only factual material, but a sense of collegiality and joy in learning. Dr. Anawalt is a world expert in andrology and the diagnosis and treatment of male hypogonadism, but his interests are broad and he is an engaging, compelling speaker on a wide range of topics in our specialty…
“Overall Dr. Anawalt is arguably as fine a representative of the Endocrine Society as I can name, but he certainly represents the core values of education and learning that are central to Endocrinology at the highest level.” – David A. D’Alessio, MD, James B. Wyngaarden Distinguished Professor of Medicine; Chief, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism; Duke University Medical Center
