MD, received a B.S. and M.S. degrees from Youngstown State University andmedical degree from Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine.She completed her residency in Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve Universityand her fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology at the National Institutes ofHealth (NIH).

Dr. Radovick is currently the Senior Associate Dean for Clinicaland Translational Research at Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.Previously, she was the Lawson Wilkins Professor of Pediatrics, Division Directorof Pediatric Endocrinology the Vice-Chair of Research in the Department ofPediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Dr. Radovick is a specialist in growth and development and pubertal disordersin children. Her research has focused on the developmental regulation ofhypothalamic-pituitary function. Her laboratory has elucidated some of thefactors that control GnRH gene expression and the intracellular signalingpathways within the GnRH neuron. Dr. Radovick's laboratory has demonstratedthat the GnRH gene is the target of growth factor and nuclear hormonesignaling pathways, which link nutrition and growth with pubertal developmentand reproduction. Another major area of her research has been to characterizethe transcription factors important for normal pituitary development. Her initialstudies provided the first description in man of the genetic mechanism forcombined pituitary hormone deficiency.

Dr. Radovick is the Past President of the Pediatric Endocrine Society where shepreviously has served as Chair of the Research Council, a Council member andChair of the Drug and Therapeutics Committee. She is a member of the AnnualMeeting Steering Committee and previously a member of the GuidelinesCommittee of the Endocrine Society and co-Chair of the Hypothyroidismsubcommittee.
