GANIMED

(German Adrenal Network Improving Treatment and Medical EDucation)

GANIMED was founded in 2000 by members of the German Endocrine Society to promote adrenal research and education. The founding members are all scientists from the fields of paediatric endocrinology, laboratory diagnosis, internal medicine and endocrine surgery, who are actively involved in adrenal research. Since the Adrenal Section of the German Endocrine Society was founded in 2003, GANIMED has worked closely together with it, primarily as a network for coordinating the section's research activities. GANIMED has led to the instigation of several multi-centre studies (pls. see below). Close ties with the European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumours (ENS@T) are also maintained. GANIMED's research activities are established at the section meetings within the framework of yearly German Endocrine Society conventions, as well as at national adrenal research conferences. GANIMED is open to all parties interested in adrenal research. The contact person is the spokesperson of the Adrenal Section of the German Endocrine Society.
