About
Edouard is a Clinical Lecturer and Honorary Consultant in Endocrinology at Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
He completed a 3-year MRC-funded Clinical Research Training Fellowship and PhD in 2022 (under the mentorship of Professor Alexander Comninos and Professor Waljit Dhillo), where he conducted the first-into-patient studies of kisspeptin administration in people with low sexual desire. In recognition of this work, Edouard was awarded the Society for Endocrinology Early Career Clinical Prize Lecture in 2023. As part of a 4-year NIHR-funded Academic Clinical Lectureship, his research continues to investigate the interplay between reproductive hormones and human behaviour.
Edouard’s work has been supported through numerous grants and awards, including:
-Early Career Grant, Research Grant and Leadership & Development Award from the Society for Endocrinology
-Pilot Project Award from the NIHR Imperial BRC
-Project Support Grant from the British Society for Neuroendocrinology
-Emerging Clinical Researchers Award from the Association of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland
-Starter Grant for Clinical Lecturers from the Academy of Medical Sciences.
Edouard is currently an elected member of the Society for Endocrinology’s Public Engagement Committee and an Editorial Board member for ‘You and Your Hormones’ and ‘The Endocrinologist’.
