Endocrine Society Award

Terry Smith, M.D., has been awarded the 2022 Gerald D. Aurbach Award for Outstanding Translational Research from the Endocrine Society. Dr. Smith, the Frederick G.L. Huetwell Professor Emeritus of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Kellogg, and Professor Emeritus of Internal Medicine at the U-M Medical School, is the only endocrinologist in the U.S. with a full-time primary faculty appointment in ophthalmology at an academic eye center. His pioneering work in Graves’ disease and related autoimmune conditions has culminated in the creation of teprotumumab — the first FDA-approved therapy to treat thyroid eye disease.
