Doctor Robert Blizzard with an unidentified child patient.
We are happy to announce free access to the complete run of the journal, Growth, Genetics, and Hormones, 1985-2010. The digitization of Growth, Genetics, and Hormones was a joint venture between the Pediatric Endocrine Society and the Endocrine Society.
Growth, Genetics, and Hormones was first published in 1985. The quarterly publication was developed, primarily, to provide a close look at current – and often controversial – topics in endocrinology, genetics, and metabolism and their potential clinical applications. To ensure that this goal was met several nationally and internationally respected authorities in genetics, endocrinology, anthropometrics, pediatrics, pharmacology, and metabolism served on the Editorial Board. For the inaugural issue, the eminent investigators who served on the editorial board included – Dr. Robert M. Blizzard of the University of Virginia School of Medicine; Dr. Jorgen Bierich of the University of Tobingen, West Germany; Dr. Judith Hall of the University of British Columbia Medical School; Dr. Fima Lifshitz of Cornell University School of Medicine; Dr. David Rimoin of the University of California at Los Angeles; and Dr. Alan Rogol of the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Dr. Robert M. Blizzard served as editor-in-chief until his retirement in 2004, at which time Dr. Fima Lifshitz became editor-in-chief. Dr. Lifshitz held this position until the final issue of Growth, Genetics, and Hormones was published in 2010. This journal provides a picture of the most important developments in the study of growth, genetics, and hormones over a twenty-five year period.
